About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and problems with self-esteem. She works with intimacy and family concerns, eating issues, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Ingrid brings a calm, respectful manner to conversations and aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
She invites clients to talk through their story and notice patterns that might be keeping them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and relational - she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and offers ways to cope and make clearer choices. Ingrid encourages exploring strong emotions so they can be understood and shifted over time. Her background includes 14 years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP.
Before counselling work she had a career in nursing in the NHS, specialising in cancer care and clinical trials. That clinical experience influences her calm, steady approach. In sessions she focuses on helping people reclaim confidence, trust and self-worth after loss, trauma or relationship wounds.
Ingrid pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication patterns that often underlie current problems. She aims to help clients find practical coping strategies while also making sense of deeper emotional themes. People can work with her online or by phone, chat or messaging.
She supports international clients and adapts the pace and style to what each person needs. The work is collaborative and shaped around the issues brought into the room.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and patterns. It helps people understand why they may feel anxious, avoidant or stuck in repeating relationship cycles and supports building more supported ways of relating.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and interactions in relationships. It helps partners or individuals name and shift emotion-driven patterns so they can communicate needs more clearly and feel closer to others.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of painful events and prolonged hurt. It aims to reduce overwhelming reactions, help process difficult memories and restore a sense of agency after abuse, loss or shock.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and choose ways of working together that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to use video, and live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels safer. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family commitments while keeping care consistent.
