Katie Lohan, BACP

Katie Lohan supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. She also helps with parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating issues, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes. She is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Katie uses a person-centred approach that puts the client in charge of session pace and focus. She aims to listen without judgement and to follow what matters most to each person. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual rather than driven by a fixed agenda.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot patterns of thinking and behaviour. That can make problems feel more manageable by breaking them into small, practical steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another strand of her work, which focuses on making room for difficult feelings while taking actions that match personal values.

Katie describes helping people notice their own resources and build on them. She offers a calm, respectful presence while clients talk through painful experiences and life changes. The work can include practical coping strategies, planning small changes, and reflecting on what clients want from their relationships and careers.

With three years of professional experience, Katie supports people through both short-term challenges and longer, deeper issues. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Katie's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, loss, and times of change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's lead so people can find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small, practical steps to reduce unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. Sessions are collaborative and can blend different techniques to suit what you want to achieve.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are preferable, and it supports gradual work on emotional issues using practical exercises you can try between sessions.
