About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. She writes and talks plainly with clients so they can make sense of what is troubling them. Ingrid aims to meet people where they are and tailor sessions to individual needs.
She draws on 14 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Before counselling she worked in nursing, specialising in cancer care and clinical trials, and she now brings that experience into conversations about illness, loss and long‑term health challenges.
Background and approach
In sessions Ingrid encourages people to tell their story and to notice patterns that affect how they feel and behave. She helps people name emotions such as anger, shame, guilt, numbness or isolation and looks at practical ways to cope with them. The work often focuses on relationships and how early attachments or life events shape current difficulties.
Her approach is collaborative and human-centred. She listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps map out steps that feel manageable. Therapy can include gentle exploration of traumatic memories, rebuilding self‑worth, or working through loss and separation.
People choose Ingrid when they want calm, direct conversation and a steady presence while they sort things out. She offers in-person and online sessions and adapts the format to what each person needs.

Online support
How Ingrid’s approaches work online
Ingrid often draws on Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choice and the practical challenges they face. This approach encourages honest conversation about what matters to a person and can help when someone feels stuck, empty or uncertain about life direction.She also uses Attachment‑Based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. That work is useful for people struggling with intimacy, avoidant tendencies, abandonment fears or difficulties trusting others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work with the client to decide what feels most helpful. Sessions begin with an exploration of needs and goals, and the method can shift as progress is made or new issues appear. This is a collaborative choice made together rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face interaction from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check‑ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments.
