As a qualified Integrative Counsellor, I offer a tailored, client-centered approach that blends evidence-based techniques with deep empathy and insight. My approach is bespoke to your unique needs, goals and life perspective; drawing from psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive-behavioural frameworks. Each session is carefully adapted to cultivate self-regulation, communication and trust.
Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma or life transitions, I work alongside you to explore the roots of your concerns, build resilience, and empower lasting change. My clients are often looking for more than surface-level support, they seek a trusted, skilled practitioner to help them break long-standing patterns and strengthen emotional intelligence.
I have a deep understanding of chronic pain, chronic fatigue, chronic medical conditions and psycho-somatic illness. I fully understand the complex dynamic that these situations bring personally, professionally, financially and to the family unit.
My practice is built on trust, compassion, confidentiality, and commitment to your well-being, providing a calm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel truly heard. Clients often tell me they value my ability to listen without agenda and support them making meaningful, sustainable shifts in their lives.
In our work together, you can expect a confidential, safe space where insight, depth, and strategy meet. My commitment is supporting you create a life that feels purposeful, empowered, and whole.
I work with a limited number of clients to ensure the highest level of focus, care and continuity.

Tanya Lane
Integrative Counsellor
Life can feel challenging and, at times, overwhelming. Through Changing Lane Counselling, offered alongside Be Balanced Be You, I provide integrative counselling in a safe, supportive space where you can explore life's challenges and move towards positive change.
Integrative counselling, a flexible and tailored approach that draws on Person-Centered, Psycho-dynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to meet your individual needs.
Just as changing lanes on a journey can open up new possibilities, counselling can help you gain perspective, overcome obstacles and move towards a more fulfilling life. My role is to work alongside you, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Alongside my professional training and ongoing development, my work is deeply influenced by my personal journey as a mother to a child with autism and additional needs. Walking this path has taught me the value of patience, resilience, and unconditional acceptance, strengthening my commitment to helping others feel heard, understood and supported.
I support adults experiencing:
• ASD spectrum journey
• Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks
• Depression and low mood
• Bereavement and loss
• Relationship difficulties and family conflict
• Personal growth and self-development
• Loneliness and isolation
• Identity and self-discovery
• Abuse
