About Katie
Katie Lohan works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and life changes, using a person-centred way of working where the client leads the session. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the UK.
She helps people talk through grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with eating, sleeping or anger. Sessions also cover self-esteem, career worries, bipolar and depression-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Katie lists ADHD and addiction among the concerns she supports.
Katie uses client-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In practice this means she encourages people to notice patterns of thought and behaviour, try practical changes, and focus on personal values. The person-centred element means the client’s priorities guide each session.
She also works with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and matters connected to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture. Family problems, divorce, domestic violence and fatherhood issues are included in her areas of focus.
Katie works in English and practises within the UK. Her BACP membership is listed as her professional credential. The first session typically begins with a short assessment so she can understand immediate concerns and plan next steps.
To start, clients are asked to use the site matching process and schedule an initial appointment. Katie notes that counselling is driven by the client’s goals and that practical strategies may be used alongside open dialogue to address day-to-day problems.
How Katie uses ACT, CBT and client-centred work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulties that involve avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Client-centred counselling emphasises the client’s own priorities and resources and lets the person lead what is discussed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and use that conversation to choose which methods to try together. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Specific session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them keep continuity of care around work, parenting and other commitments without needing to be away from their day-to-day routine.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
