Compassionate counselling for trauma and relationships

Ingrid Koehler is a UK-registered counsellor with 14 years of professional experience. She works with individuals and couples and offers support for a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, family issues, intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her clinical background includes many years of nursing in the NHS, specialising in cancer care and cancer clinical trials. She is now retired from nursing and has practised in private counselling since 2011.
Ingrid approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s particular needs. She aims to create a safe and trusting space, whether working in person or online, and seeks to support clients as they explore how their concerns developed and discover practical ways to cope and move forward.
She believes that therapy can help bring new insights and clarity, act as a witness to experiences that have been hard to name, and assist people in addressing feelings such as guilt, shame, anger, numbness or overwhelm. Ingrid encourages clients to unpack difficult emotions and to work through the impact of traumatic events, prolonged neglect or abuse, and significant losses.
Relationship difficulties often sit at the heart of personal distress, and Ingrid offers focused help for people processing the effects of challenging partnerships, including those involving narcissistic tendencies or personality difficulties. She supports clients in rebuilding self-worth, trust and confidence by connecting with inner resources and practical coping strategies.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional face-to-face sessions. It can offer a practical and effective way to access support when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
One of the main advantages is flexibility - clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online work make it a valuable step toward addressing emotional and relational concerns.
