Katie Lohan, BACP

Katie Lohan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. She works with those dealing with trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and helps people manage sleeping, eating and self-esteem difficulties. She also offers support around parenting, career worries, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue.

Katie uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client in charge of the session. She believes people already have resources inside them and that therapy is a space to notice and build on those strengths. Sessions are carried out with sensitivity and respect so people can talk about painful experiences at their own pace.

Alongside a client-centred style, Katie draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take meaningful action. These methods are used to tackle practical problems and emotional patterns that get in the way of daily life.

She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her credentials.

To begin, people complete an initial matching process and then book sessions that fit with the counsellor's availability. Katie works in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take small steps towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with long-term health challenges by focusing on action rather than symptom control.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so the client can explore feelings, make sense of experiences and tap into their own strengths.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It often includes practical tasks and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approach, or mix of approaches, to try and review progress as therapy continues.

Some practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work, parenting or medical appointments and avoiding travel time. If a shorter check-in would help on busy days, this can be discussed when arranging sessions. Confirm the exact session options available with the service before booking to ensure they match individual needs.
