About Katie
Katie Lohan offers support for a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and LGBT matters. She also helps with parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, and life changes such as divorce or career shifts.
Katie uses straightforward, respectful language and an empathetic approach to help people feel heard and understood. Katie practises in a person-centred way, which means she follows the client's lead and believes people have strengths to build on.
Background and approach
She combines this with approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and act on what matters to them. Sessions focus on small, practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lecturing.
She has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Katie works with adults dealing with complex emotional issues and life stressors. Her style is calm, patient and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on understanding each person's story.
People can expect sessions that are led by their own goals. Katie helps people notice what is getting in the way, practise new ways of responding, and build routines that support wellbeing. Conversations may cover feelings, behaviours and practical problem-solving.
The first step involves a short matching process and scheduling. This helps make sure therapy fits the person's needs before sessions begin.

How Katie uses ACT, CBT and person-centred work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps towards a life they value. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and includes practical exercises to change patterns affecting mood, sleep or behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and placing the person’s goals at the centre of sessions. It supports people who need to feel understood as they work through painful experiences.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs and preferences. Decisions are revisited as therapy progresses so plans can be adjusted if something is not helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to attend between commitments. It can also allow flexible scheduling for those juggling work, caregiving or health issues. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor exercises, homework and conversation to suit each person’s routine so therapy feels achievable alongside everyday responsibilities.
