Alison Lane CPsychol, AFBPsS, MSc, BA (Hons)

Qualifying in 1992 I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist offering sessions in Guildford for those aged 18 years plus.

I work with clients from the Guildford area, Woking, West Byfleet, Weybridge, Chertsey, Walton on Thames, Surbiton, Chobham, Bagshot, Ash Godalming, Cranleigh, Chiddingfold and Dorking

I am passionate about helping people to work towards valued and meaningful changes in their psychological well-being, with a strong focus on pragmatic results using evidenced-based, focused approaches and drawing on different therapeutic models that best complement an individual’s own skills to help reach their goals.

I listen with empathy and without judgement to ensure you feel safe and understood so we can begin to explore what you find difficult. My aims are to help you develop an informed understanding of your situation and to work collaboratively with you to develop strategies and techniques you can learn and apply to help improve your psychological well-being.

Clinical Experience

I have a wide range of experience helping adults with their general psychological health and well-being. I can also advise on how to help manage the psychological and emotional challenges that accompany physical health conditions as I have specialist training and experience working in pain management, sexual health and physical health conditions.

What is a Clinical Psychologist?

Clinical Psychologists have a first degree in Psychology, undertake work experience in relevant fields and then postgraduate clinicial training to doctoral level. This extensive training means we are are able to assess and treat a range of difficulties drawing on multiple models and approaches. This enables us to develop treatment approaches tailored to your needs. We work collaboratively and in partnership with you to reduce distress and enhance and promote psychological well-being.
