About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Ingrid writes plainly and meets people with respect and compassion, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
She begins by listening to a person’s story and noticing what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on understanding how difficulties have developed and on practical steps for coping. Ingrid supports people to name painful feelings like guilt, shame, anger or numbness, and to make sense of reactions that once felt confusing. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused ways of looking at relationships, and trauma-informed practice.
Ingrid also uses client-centred and existential perspectives to explore values, meaning and connection. These approaches are used to help people understand patterns, repair relationship strain, process loss, or recover from past hurt. Ingrid has a background in nursing and worked for many years in cancer care and clinical trials before focusing on counselling.
She has provided one-to-one and couples counselling since 2011 and brings that combined experience to sessions. Her aim is to help people regain confidence and self-belief while building practical coping strategies. People who meet her can expect calm, straightforward conversations that aim to make things clearer.
She tailors treatment plans with sensitivity and encourages people to explore feelings at a pace they can manage.

How Ingrid works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a way forward. That decision is collaborative and may change as the work develops.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find remote counselling easier to fit into a busy day, to manage short check-ins, or to avoid travel. Online work can make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change, and it still allows the therapist and client to focus clearly on feelings, relationships and practical coping strategies.
