About Umbrella Lane Psychology
‘As a youth psychologist, I always strive to keep my clients motivated and engaged throughout the entire therapy process. I am dedicated to building strong therapeutic relationships, creating a safe environment and helping young people work through their struggles.’
``An umbrella cannot stop the storm, but it can help us stand in the rain``
This is what our story began with: a metaphor describing the therapy process most beautifully and creatively. At Umbrella Lane, we all share a tremendous passion for working with kids, teens, young adults and families. Through evidence-based therapy, we strive to help our clients deal with their emotions and increase coping skills.
During the therapeutic process, we offer all the support young people need to (re)gain their confidence – umbrella – and power to overcome challenges.
Top Reasons to choose Umbrella Lane
At Umbrella Lane, we always take the time to listen, understand and create a personalized therapy plan according to every individual need. Above all, we enjoy working with young people, as well as seeing positive changes throughout their journey.
