About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also supports issues around self‑esteem, anger, eating concerns and coping with major life changes.
In sessions she listens to each person’s story and helps make sense of what feels confusing or overwhelming. Conversations focus on what has happened, how it affects current feelings and relationships, and practical ways to cope. She encourages naming emotions and noticing patterns in behaviour and thinking.
Her approach draws on attachment‑based work and emotionally‑focused methods alongside client‑centred and trauma‑focused ways of working. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape responses and to strong emotions in present relationships. The work can include looking at grief, shame, guilt or the fallout from abuse and long‑running hurts.
She also uses existential perspectives to help people consider meaning and values when life changes feel destabilising. Sessions aim to clarify choices, reduce confusion and rebuild a sense of confidence after painful events. Ingrid’s background in nursing and oncology gives additional experience of long‑term illness and loss and how these affect wellbeing.
People meet with her one to one or as a couple to talk through painful events, recurring patterns or present stresses. She asks about what the person wants from counselling and helps shape the work around those goals.
Approach in online counselling and how it helps
Ingrid draws on attachment‑based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when difficulties show up as repeated fears about closeness, abandonment or trust. She also uses emotionally‑focused therapy to track strong feelings in relationships and to help name and process those emotions when they feel overwhelming.Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. She will discuss different approaches with each person and decide together what fits best based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative planning may shift as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. 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 allow conversations about illness, grief or trauma from a familiar setting while the therapist and client agree how to pace the work.
