Katie LohanBACP

Katie Lohan offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strains, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. She is based in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her work. Katie approaches each session with respect, sensitivity and compassion to help people take practical steps forward.

Her style is person-centred, which means the client sets the pace and the topics covered. Katie believes people already have strengths and resources, and she helps them notice and use those capabilities. Sessions focus on talking through feelings and experiences and on trying out small changes that feel doable.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to support values-based action. These methods are offered alongside a supportive, non-judgemental listening style that keeps the person’s priorities central.

Katie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She works in English and does not accept international clients at this time. If someone is unsure what to expect, Katie encourages an initial conversation to see whether her way of working feels like a good fit.

Many people begin by naming one or two concerns they want to focus on, such as sleep, parenting pressures, or coping after loss. Katie then helps set short-term goals and practical steps to try between sessions, with the aim of building steady progress.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Person-centred therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and offering non-judgemental listening. Online sessions can still centre on what matters most to the person, with the counsellor reflecting and guiding at the client’s pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical techniques to test and change patterns that cause distress. This can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and unhelpful behaviours through short exercises and planning between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small steps that matter. It is useful for coping with long-term stress, chronic issues and decision-making around relationships and parenting.

Finding the right approach is often collaborative. The therapist will discuss the different ways of working and agree what to try first based on the person’s goals and preferences. That can change over time as goals shift.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel time and using shorter check-ins when needed. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats Katie currently offers before booking. Online work aims to make therapy easier to attend and to fit more naturally into everyday life.
