About Ingrid

Ingrid Koehler is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She works with concerns such as anger, eating difficulties, depression, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. Ingrid uses a straightforward, respectful style to listen and help people make sense of painful experiences.

She begins by hearing each person’s story and then works alongside them to find practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on understanding feelings, patterns in relationships and responses that keep problems going. Ingrid aims to name painful feelings like shame, guilt, anger or numbness, and to help people reconnect with their own strengths. Her background includes many years supporting people affected by serious illness.

That clinical experience informs her calm and attentive manner when working with loss, bereavement and health-related distress. Ingrid has practised as a counsellor since 2011 and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. In sessions she encourages exploring attachment patterns, past hurts and current relationship dynamics.

She draws on approaches that centre the person’s experience and emotions to build clearer self-understanding. Treatment is tailored to each person’s needs and comfort level, and conversation and pace are adapted accordingly. Ingrid offers work online and in person from the United Kingdom.

Conversations are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. She asks people to choose what they are willing to share and aims to create a steady, compassionate space for change.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how frightening or hurtful events affect daily life and emotional responses. It helps people understand symptoms that come from shock, prolonged hurt or overwhelming experiences and find ways to reduce their impact. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. It can help people recognise repeating relationship patterns and develop safer ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. That collaborative process means techniques are chosen to fit the person rather than following a fixed plan.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and use a conversational style, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for check-ins. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and to keep continuity when schedules change.
