About Katie
Katie Lohan is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family problems, and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Katie uses a person-centred way of working. She lets the client lead sessions while offering practical reflection and gentle challenge. She aims to help people identify their own resources and to talk through what gets in the way of change.
Her practice also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. That approach is used to help with patterns such as worry, low mood, and disrupted sleep. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps that matter to them.
Katie has helped people with parenting tensions, coping after loss, and rebuilding motivation and self-esteem. She works with issues linked to identity and intimacy, including LGBT concerns and kink or alternative sex culture questions. Practical problem solving is part of sessions alongside talking through feelings.
Her background includes work supporting people affected by addiction, domestic violence and complex family problems. She describes sessions as led by the client, with the counsellor offering reflection, validation and practical tools when useful. To begin, people use the online matching process and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Katie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide choice and action. ACT can be useful for problems like anger that keep recurring because of rigid reactions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to map links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and try different responses to triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try methods that match the person's goals and day-to-day life. That decision is made together, with adjustments along the way if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the exact session options before booking since the original biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a counsellor from their local area without changing their routine, but check which formats are offered when you arrange the first appointment.
