About Katie
Katie Lohan is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief and loss, and a range of other life challenges listed in her profile.
Katie uses a person-centred approach where the client leads the session and their own resources are central. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to offer practical ways to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Katie listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns that cause distress. She will offer practical strategies from CBT when useful, such as coping techniques for anxiety or sleep concerns, and work with values and acceptance ideas from ACT to address avoidance or unhelpful control efforts.
People bring a wide range of issues, including relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image difficulties, substance use and addiction, career stress, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. Katie also lists additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, care-giver stress, chronic illness, and aspects of alternative sexual culture such as BDSM and kink.
She works in English. International clients are not accepted. For booking, follow the site steps to match with her profile and arrange a first session through the platform's scheduling flow.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-centred work places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows what matters to the client and helps them notice their own strengths and choices. CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies for problems like anxiety, low mood or sleep disruption. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and practise accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps towards what matters to them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals, preferences and what seems most helpful, and then agree a plan with the client. This is a collaborative process in which techniques may be introduced gradually based on need.
Confirm the exact session formats available with Katie before booking, as the profile does not specify which formats are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when useful and reduce the need to be on camera if someone prefers phone work, depending on what the counsellor offers. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical options to help sessions fit everyday routines.
