   About Brittany

   Brittany Lane is an AASW counsellor with five years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and family conflict. She also helps with self‑esteem, compassion fatigue and navigating life changes. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people take the next steps when things feel stuck.

   Brittany adapts how she works to each person. She listens first and shapes a plan together based on what matters most to the client. Conversations are collaborative and direct, with attention to strengths and small, achievable changes.

   Her work covers a broad range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family problems, communication difficulties, body image and fertility stress. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, first responder issues, and alternative sex culture topics such as BDSM and kink when these arise in therapy.

   Therapy sessions often blend approaches to suit the problem and the person. Methods she draws on include Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural tools, dialectical behaviour strategies and client‑centred techniques. These are used in simple, practical ways so clients can try new coping skills between sessions.

   Brittany emphasises respect, sensitivity and empowerment in her work. She encourages people to take manageable steps toward change and offers steady support through the process. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

2. Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own motivation to change. It involves guided conversations that clarify goals and increase readiness for steps forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, grief and life changes.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as things evolve.
   
   The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It also lets people use shorter check‑ins, avoid travel time and continue regular support when life becomes busy. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt interventions used in face‑to‑face work into remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
