Katie Lohan , BACP

Katie Lohan is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional experience and membership in the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and supports those coping with grief and loss, as well as clients facing parenting challenges, low motivation, reduced self-esteem, and confidence concerns.

Katie approaches therapy from a person-centered perspective, placing the client at the centre of each session and trusting that individuals carry important resources for change within themselves. Sessions are guided by the client so that personal priorities and lived experience shape the work, while Katie offers empathic listening, validation, and gentle exploration of feelings and patterns.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic relationships and aims to accompany people through difficult transitions. Katie recognizes that seeking support takes courage and is committed to helping clients take steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life, providing steady support as they explore their thoughts and experiences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Katie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them and then take values-guided actions to move forward. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and motivation issues.

She also practices client-centered therapy, emphasizing empathic listening and the client’s own strengths. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people feel understood and respected while they explore emotions, relationships, and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her skill set, offering practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop skills for coping with everyday problems such as anxiety, low mood, or sleep difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to engage from home, during breaks, or while balancing other responsibilities. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
