Katie Lohan , BACP

Katie Lohan is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her therapeutic practice. She focuses on supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, helping them navigate grief and loss, and addressing parenting concerns alongside challenges around motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Katie works from a client-centered perspective - sessions are led by the individual and shaped around their priorities and lived experience. She believes that each person has inner resources and strengths, and she offers steady, empathetic guidance while clients explore their feelings and make changes.

Respect, sensitivity, and compassion are central to her approach. Katie encourages those taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life, recognizing that reaching out for support takes courage and that change often unfolds gradually. She is present to support clients through the process and to help them build clearer direction and greater resilience.

Katie holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and navigating life transitions. Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the process - the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental support while the person leads the direction of sessions. This approach is well suited to building self-esteem and exploring personal concerns such as parenting and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and gently shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, and it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with everyday stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Katie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to tailor support so each person feels understood and involved in planning their care.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - sessions can fit around work, family, and daily life, and clients can choose the format that feels most comfortable. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access regular support when it matters most.
