Katie Lohan

Katie Lohan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, anger and addictions. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strains, sleep and eating issues, and changes in career or life circumstances. Katie uses a respectful, compassionate stance and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone under pressure.

Katie has three years of professional experience and holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in a person-centred way and encourages clients to lead sessions. That means she follows the person’s pace and focuses on their strengths and choices.

Her approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at values and small steps towards them, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. In practice this can mean setting short experiments, practising new responses, or noticing thoughts and actions that keep problems going.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Katie listens, reflects, and helps people try different strategies between meetings. She aims to build confidence and clearer decision-making rather than handing down answers.

If someone wants to start, they use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to the therapist’s availability and follows the platform’s subscription model, which can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that fit those values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress and managing difficult urges. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own resources and priorities; the counsellor listens closely, reflects back, and follows the person’s lead to help them make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will try methods that suit the person’s situation. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and using shorter check-ins when time is tight. Online meetings can make it simpler to meet from different locations or to avoid travel for appointments. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
