About Katie

Katie Lohan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and addictions. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns and relationship difficulties. Katie works with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, eating struggles and life changes in a straightforward and respectful way.

Katie practises using client-centred methods, putting the person’s goals and choices first. She listens without judgement and follows the pace set by each person in the room. Over time she brings in techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with coping skills and day-to-day routines.

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as how feelings and habits affect daily life. People can expect to talk through current problems, try out new ways of responding, and reflect on what matters most to them. Katie aims to support people to notice small changes that add up over weeks and months.

Her approach is calm and down-to-earth, and she emphasises dignity and sensitivity. She has three years of professional experience and is a BACP member. This means she works within the professional standards set by that UK body.

If you are thinking about sleep or rest issues alongside anxiety or stress, Katie can help you look at daily routines and coping strategies. To start, follow the site's booking steps so you can answer a short questionnaire and arrange the next available session.

How Katie’s therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. It can help with worry, sleep patterns and finding focus amid stress. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on listening and creating a space where the person leads the work; this helps people feel heard and able to explore what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals with each person and suggest ways to try different techniques. The choice is collaborative and can change as needs and priorities shift over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, make it easier to keep regular appointments and can reduce travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing to suit work and family life, and Katie can adapt methods like CBT exercises or ACT practices to fit remote conversations.
