About Katie
Katie Lohan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, grief, relationship issues and changes in life circumstances.
Katie uses a person-centred style that lets the client lead the session. She listens and reflects to help people find their own resources and next steps. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to offer practical ways to manage difficult feelings and unhelpful habits.
Sessions focus on what matters at home and in day-to-day life. That can mean talking through parenting strain, coping after loss, dealing with anger or working on self-esteem. Katie aims to help people notice patterns, test small changes and choose actions that match their values.
People meet Katie to address a wide range of concerns such as mood difficulties, addiction, sleep and eating problems, or the effects of past abuse. She also offers support around attachment, abandonment and intimacy-related matters, including kink and alternative sex culture, where this is relevant to the person's goals.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Katie helps clients set practical goals and tries techniques that suit how they prefer to work. If someone wants to try a different way of working, she discusses alternatives and adapts the sessions accordingly.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then choose actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client leads the conversation and discovers their own resources. This suits people who want a conversational, exploratory style. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change them, which many people find helpful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Katie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working. She adapts methods if something does not feel like a good fit, and the choice of approach can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Katie aims to help people bring practical changes from sessions into their everyday life, while arranging appointments in ways that work around work and family commitments.
