Hi, I am Catherine Chapman. I am currently working towards an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means I work with three modalities: cognitive behavioural therapy, person centred therapy and attachment theory, and tailor the sessions to meet a client's individual needs.

After studying CBT as a stand-alone modality, I decided that a more integrative approach suited my personality. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgemental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. Counselling placements and previous work in primary and higher education has allowed me to gain experience working with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, food and body related issues, trauma, and relationship issues.

I am interested in human connection to nature and animals, so spend much of my free time outdoors with my dog, who I am currently training to work as a future therapy dog.

Hi, I'€™m Ross. I am currently working towards my MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Derby. I'€™m also a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I spent a number of years working in education, as a primary school teacher, and my experiences have highlighted the importance of positive relationships with my pupils, parents and colleagues to drive progress. I aim to relate to an individual and create a positive, safe environment which helps clients reach their goals. My years as a teacher have also given me insights into managing and supporting individual needs, with their wellbeing my priority, as well as an awareness of how early experiences can shape lives.

I believe counselling and psychotherapy can lead us to self-acceptance, self-discovery and contentment, while strengthening our relationships.

I'€™m also lover of sport and did a degree in Sports Science. My claim to fame is playing in a televised football match whilst living in Australia.

Hello, my name is Hollie and I'm an integrative counselling psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP. Being an integrative practitioner, bringing together the modalities of Person centred, Attachment and Cognitive Behavioural theories, I can offer a tailored response to supporting you with your needs, in a way that works for you.

I hold an MSc in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and a MSc in Psychology and have a wide range of experience of supporting individuals from many different backgrounds and of all ages. I am a caring, patient, non-judgemental and attentive person. I am also passionate about the natural tendency of human beings to grow, develop, and overcome the issues they face; however, we sometimes get stuck! When this happens, I believe that very often it is through a supportive and respectful relationship with another in therapy that we can begin to become aware, understand, and take steps to resolve issues that may be holding us back in some way.

As a person of mixed raced heritage, I have a good appreciation for cultural and diversity issues and the impacts this could have on an individual.

I have experience working with children and young people as well as adults. I also have experience working with children and young people with SEMH in education and coordinating and delivering wellbeing programmes. More widely I have interests in spirituality and holistic therapies, such as meditation and reiki as ways of self-care and grounding.

Hello, my name is Ian.

I am also trained in Bereavement and Grief support. I volunteer for a national bereavement care charity and part of this voluntary work involves me running a local support group for them.

I practice Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a therapy that combines Person-Centred Approach, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment Theory in an approach that understands how these therapies compliment each other. Integrative Therapy adapts and evolves to an individual'€™s experiences raising a self-understanding of how we interact with life'€™s challenges.

The foundation of my work is to provide a compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental space where your well-being is of the highest value.

I am a dedicated integrative counsellor, and every therapy session is tailored to each individual. I offer a safe, non-judgemental, confidential and supportive environment whereby clients both individual and couples are able to explore their thoughts, emotions and experiences - working together towards individual, personal goals.

We carry things from the past that can sometimes stop us from being who we want to be today; life can be tough, feel overwhelming and can be difficult to deal with on your own.

Listening is a fundamental part of counselling, and I will actively listen, giving feedback from time to time, guiding and supporting you to explore the problem you bring, allowing you to come to a new understanding of what is happening to you and why.

Couples experience challenges within their relationships – during sessions we can figure things out together. It’s not about who is right or wrong but about understanding each other, to reconnect and communicate. Couples therapy helps to rebuild, reconnect, and create a partnership that works for both of you.

Hi, my name’s Olivia! I am currently studying an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and I also have also recently completed a BSc in Psychology. Outside of my training and degree, I work as a support worker within a mental health unit, a job which I adore, and I take huge pride in supporting and caring for those who need a helping hand in getting the most out of life.

Hi, I’m Jules. I’m a trainee counsellor studying towards the BSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy at the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute and I’m a student member of the BACP. I adhere to the ethical framework and codes of practice of both.

My approach is humanistic and integrative, and central to that is a belief that it’s our relationships through life, with others and ourselves, that shape us. I’m interested in getting to know the unique universe that is every client’s experience and supporting them in a safe, warm, confidential space without judgement. I believe that in talking through and exploring together the thoughts, feelings and experiences which may be causing distress, it will bring greater awareness and insight. From my own experiences in therapy, I know that increased awareness and insight can bring relief and greater choice to how we live, and I’m passionate about offering that to others.

I have worked in the charity sector for 13 years and my job for the last 8 years has been supporting small local charities with their finances. Prior to that I worked for a charity focussed on the environment, mental health and inclusion. The aspect of this work that I’ve most enjoyed has been when I work closely with people; listening and supporting them in achieving their goals, so it’s important to me to be doing more of that in my life now (although in a different way) as part of Green Lane.

When I’m not working, I love to spend time with friends and family; listening to music, eating good food, learning about the world and being out in nature.

Hi, my name is Hannah and I am currently undertaking my master's degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Derby. As a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I follow their guidelines and ethical standards diligently.

In my counselling practice, I blend various theories and techniques to support each person's unique needs and foster their growth. I draw from attachment theory, which explores how early relationships shape our connections throughout life, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical tool for changing negative thinking and behaviours, and Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), which creates a safe, non-judgmental space for exploring feelings and finding solutions.

Outside of counselling,I work as a Pharmacy Advisor, where I've had the chance to interact with people from diverse backgrounds. This experience has helped me develop my empathetic skills and taught me about different medical conditions, emphasising the importance of offering emotional support alongside medical assistance.

I'm passionate about working with you to help you overcome challenges and grow personally.

Hello, my name is Amy. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Derby. I am a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to its ethical guidelines and code of conduct.

I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, where I achieved a BA Honours in Psychology at the University of Stellenbosch. Thereafter I worked as a support worker and community counsellor, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds.

I follow an Integrative approach to therapeutic practice, whereby I frame treatment to your individual needs and goals. I aim to provide you with a compassionate and nurturing space to explore yourself, and together we can face any challenges you may be experiencing.

Hello, my name is Priyanka and I’m a student currently pursuing an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Derby. I’ve also done my Postgraduate diploma in counselling and guidance at SIES university in Mumbai, India. As a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I am very devoted to practicing with their core values and principals such as keeping the client’s safety as an utmost priority.

I decided to pursue psychology, especially psychotherapy and counselling when I realised the way therapy has improved my life and ever since then I have had the passion to do the same for others. I am originally from India and having been in the UK for the past 6 months has made me more sensitive of the cultural differences and how I as a practitioner could be more inclusive and respectful of different cultures and sexual orientations.

The theories that would form the foundation of my practice would be from an integrative approach, which would include Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment Theory. The Integrative approach would enable me to meet my clients needs in a flexible manner as no two sessions are ever same. With the help of the client I would like to form a collaborative relationship in a way that suits them best and helps them reach their desired goals.

When it comes to my interests outside of psychology, I enjoy cooking as it gives me the opportunity to explore different cuisines and helps me be mindful. I also enjoy the occult science and enjoy reading tarot cards as a hobby. I love exploring new cities and parks.

Hi, my name is Ananya. I’m a Student Counsellor, currently pursuing a Master of Science degree (Level 7) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Derby. I’m a Student Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and thus adhere to their ethical guidelines and code of conduct for therapeutic practice.

I have prior experience working in the non-profit sector in India, where I facilitated growth and change while addressing various challenges within slum communities. I fulfilled the roles of a teacher, trainer, counsellor and mentor to children and adults, spanning across different age groups.

As I’m training to become an Integrative therapist, I shall unconditionally support you by using a blend of different therapeutic approaches, customising and adjusting the therapy to align with your unique goals and aspirations. I consider it my absolute privilege, to get the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey towards greater well-being and self-discovery. By providing you with an empathetic and non-judgemental space, where you feel secure to explore anything that you wish to, I aim to foster a genuine and strong therapeutic relationship, that enables us in navigating obstacles and achieving your goals, cultivating a more fulfilling life.

Outside of therapy, I have a love for people, food, travelling and exploring new cultures and cuisines, connecting with nature, and pondering over the many mysteries of the Universe.

I am bilingual, can offer therapy in English and Hindi, and I look forward to collaborating with you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.

Hi, I’m Alex and I’m currently working towards my Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I’m a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Outside of counselling, I’m passionate about travelling, learning about new cultures and cuisines, and I enjoy spending time in nature, especially in my garden. These interests keep me connected to the world around me and help me find balance.

In my practice, I take a Person-Centred approach, which focuses on providing a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. I believe that everyone has the potential to navigate their own challenges, and my role is to walk alongside you as you gain clarity and find your own way forward.

I have a degree in Pedagogy and experience in education, which has helped me develop skills in listening and understanding different perspectives. I’ve also been working with refugee communities, offering both practical and emotional support. As someone whose family were refugees in the past, I can empathise with the difficulties people face when rebuilding their lives in unfamiliar environments. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the diverse challenges individuals face, particularly during times of transition.

As well as English, I speak Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian, which can help if you feel more comfortable expressing yourself in these languages and if you're from a South-Eastern European background like myself.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

My approach is Humanistic integrative which allows me to tailor integrative counselling techniques such as CBT, Psychodynamic, gestalt, REBT and more, to meet the unique needs of each client. I offer an empathic safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. 

I have currently gained experience working in a counselling agency, working with children and young adults. In support of my continuing development as a counsellor I have undertaken core competence training for working therapeutically with children and young people and self-led studies and webinars including neurodiversity, development, and suicide prevention training.

Hello, I’m Josh Gahonia. I have a Master's Degree in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). As an Integrative Counsellor I use Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Attachment Theory in a blended approach to tailor support for individual client needs.

Prior to my counselling training, I started my experience in this field as a listening volunteer for the Samaritans. It taught me a lot about how powerful it can be to provide people with a space that is non-judgemental, safe, and empathetic. My aim is to create these conditions in my counselling practice to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings. My counselling placement allowed me to gain experience working with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, work-related issues, and relationship issues.

I also work as a project coordinator at the mental health charity, Derbyshire Mind. My role is to help facilitate the ‘Trauma Informed Derbyshire’ initiative, by delivering workshops which aim to upskill the VCSE sector in Derbyshire and kick-start their journey in becoming trauma informed.

I don’t believe one size fits all. We all have different backgrounds and past experiences, and therefore how we struggle and how we heal is not always the same. My aim is to build a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship with clients, to support them in their journey.

I am a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to the same ethical guidelines and code of conduct for therapeutic practice.

I have previous experience working in an NGO in India that supports people with mental health challenges and has a suicide helpline as well. I provided mental health first-aid via the suicide helpline by providing a listening ear and support to the distressed callers.

My role at Green Lane is to provide my clients with unconditional support and empathy and help them with their struggles in a safe and non-judgmental environment. My client’s safety and emotions are my utmost priority. My approach is integrative, combining Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment Theory. This will ensure I tailor-make my sessions for your needs and help you in all aspects for individual growth.

As for my personal interests, I absolutely love animals and have a lot of experience in rescuing and rehabilitation of street dogs and cats. I also love cooking and trying new cuisines. Coffee is my fuel, so exploring cute cafes is also a hobby of mine!

I am multilingual and can speak English, Hindi, Kannada and Marathi; if you feel comfortable in any of the above languages I would love to help, especially if you are from South-Asian background like myself.

I look forward to this journey with you.

Hello, my name is Amanda and I’m currently working towards my Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and am a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I’m a Humanistic practitioner who is training in Person Centred Therapy. I have worked for many years as a Clinical Specialist in Speech and Language Therapy with children, young people and families. This has given me experience in listening to, and understanding others. I have experience with neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and ADHD in my previous role. As someone who has ADHD, I am passionate about supporting other neurodivergent people to accept and value themselves.

I believe that counselling can benefit everyone and that we are all capable of learning how to help ourselves. I believe in celebrating differences and offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your feelings. I believe that we all have the skills and potential to resolve our own challenges with the right support.

Hello, my name is Sun and I’m a student member of the BACP, working towards a Masters degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at Derby University. I also have a BSc in Psychology. My approach integrates the Person-Centred Approach, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Attachment Theory, allowing me to tailor therapy to each individual—because I believe one size does not fit all. My counselling style is authentic, compassionate, and client-centred, ensuring that each person feels heard and valued. I also strive to be culturally sensitive, recognising and respecting the diverse backgrounds and experiences that shape each person’s journey.

Beyond my studies, I work for a charity supporting refugees and asylum seekers, helping them integrate and thrive in society. When I’m not working or studying, I love spending time outside, whether it’s going for a run or just spending time with people I care about. I also love getting lost in a great book or film—stories that offer new perspectives always inspire me.

I’m always looking for opportunities to develop and grow as a counsellor, ensuring I can provide the best support possible. I’m passionate about this journey and committed to helping others find their path to growth and well-being.

Hi, I’m Mark and am currently working towards my MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Derby. I am also a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Despite a professional background in engineering, I have a real passion for people and offering them a safe space to explore and better understand their struggles and experiences. I acknowledge that life can be difficult and truly believe that at different points in our lives, we all need and deserve support. Through providing compassionate support, free of judgement, I aim to facilitate personal growth whilst empowering you to take positive steps in living a warm and fulfilling life moving forward.

No two people are the same, and I aim to work with individuals in a way that caters to their needs through the application of an integrative approach to psychotherapy. I believe therapy is a time for you, and an opportunity to use that time in a way that sits true to you.

I have been fortunate enough to work with over 1200 young people within the voluntary sector, in my role as a counsellor for NSPCC and a youth worker at the Derby Childrens Hospital. Being part of their journey has been an honour and only further solidified my passion to continue working and support people going forward.

Hello, my name is Selina. I hold a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Occupational Psychology, and I am currently completing my Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. I am a registered student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their code of ethics and practice.

My experience includes working as an Honorary Assistant Psychologist in the NHS, supporting young people and adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I am also currently volunteering as an online counsellor with a national charity, providing support to clients from diverse backgrounds. Alongside my clinical work, I have a background in organisational change management, helping people adapt to workplace change — experience that strengthens my understanding of stress, transitions, and resilience.

I work in an integrative way, drawing on approaches such as psychodynamic, Gestalt, person-centred, CBT, and solution-focused techniques, depending on what best supports each person. I have experience in working with a range of issues such as, anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, relationship difficulties, self-harm, phobias, and bereavement.

My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can just be, to explore your experiences and to feel supported in moving forward positively in the direction that feels right for you.

Hi, I’m Alice and I am a Trainee Psychotherapist, working towards my MSc Integrative Psychotherapy at the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. I work from a relational-developmental perspective, which is centred on the idea that what is broken in relationship can be healed in relationship. It recognises that our early relational experiences shape the developing brain, particularly our capacity to self-regulate, relate to others, and feel safe in the world.

This modality resonates with me because it reflects my core belief that healing happens through connection. It’s also a model that has helped me make sense of my own experiences and continues to shape the kind of therapist I want to be. My role isn’t to fix or direct clients, but to offer presence, attunement, and safety. Therapy becomes a space to co-create the kind of validating, emotionally responsive relationship that may have been missing earlier in life.

I don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all, I aim to meet clients where they are, with respect, curiosity, and care. I also have experience working in education and student support, as well as customer service, which has strengthened my ability to listen and support people through challenges.

Outside of my work and training, I enjoy reading, being outdoors, and spending time with my family and friends.
