About Katie
Katie Lohan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting difficulties, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Katie also lists a wide range of other concerns she supports, including anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship and family matters, and issues related to identity and sexuality.
Katie uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client in the lead. Sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about and on identifying personal resources they can use. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help with values and action planning.
In practical terms Katie aims to help people name the problems that feel most urgent and to try small, manageable changes. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person. This can mean working on coping strategies for day-to-day stress or looking at deeper patterns linked to past hurt.
She has experience supporting people with issues around body image, attachment and abandonment, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and caring responsibilities. Katie also works with people facing chronic illness, pain, or the stresses of parenting and fatherhood.
Sessions can include exploring difficult memories, practicing new ways of thinking, and setting realistic goals for work, study or relationships. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can help with feelings of being stuck, low motivation, and uncertainty about next steps. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions; the counsellor follows the client’s lead and works from what the client brings each week. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process shapes the session plan and the kinds of exercises they try between meetings.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work, or commuting, and they can reduce travel time. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when life is busy, the option of audio-only contact if video is difficult, and being able to attend from wherever fits a daily routine. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt techniques so they work well in a remote setting.
