About Katie
Katie Lohan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, grief and life changes. Katie also works with concerns such as self-esteem, motivation, relationship and intimacy questions, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Katie uses a person-centred approach where the client guides the session. She listens for what matters most and helps people notice their own resources. Sessions emphasise straightforward talk about feelings and experiences rather than technical jargon.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking and small behaviour changes that can make day-to-day life easier. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles are used where noticing values and practising small, workable steps are useful. These methods are mixed into a practical, conversation-led style.
Katie has worked with people dealing with addiction, domestic violence, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and issues tied to attachment or abandonment. She also supports those exploring body image, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and fatherhood concerns.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals. People can expect a calm conversational approach, practical strategies when helpful, and time to talk through difficult events like trauma or bereavement. To start, Katie asks people to use a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing values and committing to small actions that align with those values. It can help when avoidance or worry gets in the way of everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person leading the conversation and being heard; the counsellor reflects and supports the client's own problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and suggests practical steps to try instead.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with the client about what fits their needs and preferences, and then try methods together. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as goals develop.
Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can still make it easier to fit appointments into life, for example by avoiding travel, making shorter check-ins possible, or letting someone join from a place with fewer distractions. Therapists who offer remote sessions can adapt exercises, set practical weekly steps and use conversational CBT or ACT techniques in the virtual session time.
