Katie Lohan, BACP

Katie Lohan helps people facing midlife concerns and a wide range of emotional struggles. She supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and the practical strains of parenting and caregiving. Her approach aims to make the next steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Katie works in a person-centred way, so sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace. She listens without judgement and helps people notice strengths they already have. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, realistic steps forward.

Her practical toolkit draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas when useful. That means helping people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and act on values that matter to them. Katie uses these tools flexibly alongside client-centred listening.

She has three years' professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice is informed by work with grief, relationship difficulties, body image and sexual wellbeing topics, as well as mood and attention concerns.

Katie offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk about difficult choices and life transitions. She encourages practical coping skills for sleep, anger, eating concerns and work stress, while also attending to deeper patterns such as attachment and commitment issues. If you want a straightforward conversation about where to begin, she can guide the first steps.

How Katie’s approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings and then focus on values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and respected; the client sets the pace and topics while the counsellor follows and reflects. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change them, which can help with sleep, anger and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Katie will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques from ACT and CBT within a person-centred frame so people can test what helps them most.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera according to what suits them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these options to help clients balance therapy with everyday life.
