Slow Life Psychology
16 years experience as a psychologist
Practical strategies for change
Therapy that suits you – after hours, weekend and online appointments available.
Hi, I’m Lana Hall, Registered Psychologist.
I love helping people, and I’ve been helping people change their lives since 2006.
First as a telephone counsellor, then mental health support worker, private practice psychologist, workplace coach, running workshops, speaking to groups, and through my books, I’ve now helped thousands of people reduce stress, improve their mental health, reach their goals, overcome relationship challenges, find their purpose, grow their confidence, and learn to create a life they love to live.
I’m well known for taking scientific knowledge and research and turning it into practical advice. I focus on easy to action steps. Clients often comment that I’ve ‘hit the nail on the head’. I understand their problem, and I know what research says works to deal with the problem.
I don’t believe in years of therapy to unwind the past. I’m focussed on getting you to take action now, to create the life you want today. Action is what creates change, not simply understanding.
Everything I teach, I use myself in my own life. I know from experience that what I teach works, and the rewards it brings.
Work with an experienced professional, and short cut your success.
Do you want to:
- Stop using snacking, doomscrolling and other copes?
- Stop feeling so afraid and be able to do the things you want to in life?
- Stop people pleasing and hiding who you are and what you want?
- Know who you are, what your want, and start going after it?
- Be able to set clear boundaries and stick to them?
- Improve your mood and take action on what matters to you?
- Be able to stay on track with your goals until you reach them?
- Stop just surviving and start truly living your life?
What people are saying about Lana’s The Slow Life Project book
The Slow Life Project instantly appealed to me. As a chronically busy person, a slow life seems both desirable and unattainable. So, I am grateful that I received this book at a time that I had just enough of a lull to start reading it, and once I started reading it was something I wanted to make time for.
The way that the book is structured makes it easy to work though a little at a time. The exercises are not overwhelmingly complex but build on one another in a way that helped me to understand what it was that made me gravitate toward the idea of a slow life and to develop my ‘slow life map’ based on my own values and intrinsic needs.
In my work, I spend much of my time helping organisations to navigate change and firmly believe that successful change comes from each individual understanding not only what is changing, how it affects them and what they need to do, but WHY they need to change. The Slow Life Project gives more than just the tools of how to change, it helped me discover my ‘why’, and that is why along with my slow life map and Lana’s guidance on how to navigate a purposefully slower life using it give me confidence in developing my own pathway to ‘living a life with more meaning, authenticity and joy’.
The Slow Life Project should be required reading for anyone who craves a more meaningful, intentional life.
The Slow Life Project is a useful approach to living well. It provides a helpful framework that is easy to follow, plus explanations, guidance and further reading for those that want more.
The Slow Life Project would be particularly valuable for busy parents wanting to gain more clarity and focus for themselves and their family.
Recently, I’ve found myself having trouble coping emotionally with changes brought on by covid and other life events. At times, I’ve found myself rather down and even despairing.
I don’t like to talk to anyone about myself which has meant I’ve not sought help from a healthcare professional when sometimes I would have benefited from it.
In the privacy and safety of my own home, at my own pace, I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to read “The Slow Life Project”. The book not only validates how I’m feeling and thinking, it also shows me that I’m not alone and also gives me tools on how to slowly work on these things myself. This is exactly what I needed as I can’t for the foreseeable future book in to talk to anyone, so this book means I’ve received help and guidance now, instead of continuing on as I was.
