Jane Lumley is a Psychologist based in Brighton, VIC. She works from Level 1, 214 Bay Street, Brighton VIC 3186, offering counselling and practical support for people going through a rough patch.
Jane’s sessions suit anyone who feels stuck in a loop of stress, heavy emotions, or unhelpful thoughts and habits. In many cases, this can show up as feeling overwhelmed, finding it hard to switch off, or struggling with confidence and day-to-day coping. At times, it’s also about sorting out what’s going on inside, so changes at home, at work, or in relationships can feel more possible.
Her approach includes behavioural therapy and emotional support, with strategies that help you notice patterns and take small, steady steps. She also uses cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) ideas. That usually means looking closely at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together, and then testing new ways of handling things in real life.
Stress management is a big part of her work. The focus is not just on “pushing through”, but on building tools you can actually use when life gets busy. You might talk through what triggers your stress, then learn skills for calming your mind and body, and for handling worries before they grow. Sessions are often calm and grounded, with an emphasis on what feels doable right now.
Jane also offers guidance around emotional support, so you have a safe space to be honest about what you’re dealing with. Some people come in wanting to understand what’s been happening for them over time. Others want help with coping in the weeks ahead. Either way, the goal is usually the same: clearer thinking, more control over reactions, and better ways to get through tough moments without feeling alone.
