About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and related issues. Ingrid also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
She uses a straightforward, conversational approach. Sessions begin with hearing a person's story and then looking at practical ways to manage feelings and reactions. Ingrid encourages exploring emotions like frustration, resentment and anger so they can be understood rather than pushed aside.
Her work draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She also uses client-centred listening and trauma-focused methods when trauma or loss are central to the problem. These approaches are used to help people recognise patterns, make sense of past hurts and develop clearer ways of relating to others.
Ingrid brings prior experience from nursing in cancer care and long-term clinical roles into her counselling. That background informs how she talks about illness, grief and medical-related stress. She offers a calm, direct way of unpacking difficult experiences and looks for what practical coping skills might help day to day.
Sessions aim to clarify what is driving difficult responses and to support gradual changes in behaviour and feeling. People who come because they snap at loved ones, carry resentment at work, or struggle with someone else's anger can expect a listening approach paired with concrete ideas to try between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this lens often look at patterns of closeness, trust and anger and how these play out in today's relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep conflicts alive; online EFT sessions can guide couples or individuals to notice and shift these moments. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the counsellor listening without judgement and following the client's pace, which can suit online conversations where someone needs time to find words.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then select methods together. This keeps the process collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, health appointments or childcare, and can reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's week. Discuss format and timing during the initial matching steps to find what will fit into everyday life.
