About Katie
Katie Lohan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, and codependency. Sessions focus on immediate problems such as sleep, eating, anger, and low self-esteem as well as longer standing issues like attachment and abandonment worries.
Katie uses client-centred therapy as a base. She gives space for people to lead sessions and notices what they already bring. That means conversations are guided by the client’s priorities rather than a scripted plan.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people decide what matters to them. These approaches are used to build practical steps for coping with life changes, parenting strain, and managing urges linked to substance use or other compulsions.
Katie works with concerns around intimacy, BDSM and kink, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and issues tied to alcohol or drugs. She supports people exploring LGBT matters, career questions, and challenges related to ADHD, bipolar and depression. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what helps day to day.
Her background includes three years of client work in the UK and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site's booking route to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the client control of the session. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the client brings up to help them notice their own strengths and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to name their values and take committed steps, even when difficult feelings arise.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then use one or a mix of these methods. That means sessions can shift over time as needs change, and the client helps steer which tools are tried next.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Some people prefer a shorter check-in when days are busy or a non-video call when bandwidth is low. Because the site lists online therapy options separately, please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered for scheduling and daily life.
