About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She works with issues like low self-esteem, anger, eating concerns, intimacy struggles and coping with big life changes. Ingrid also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency and the fallout from separation or infidelity.
She uses a calm, respectful style and aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions are built around whatever you choose to share.
Background and approach
The focus is on understanding how difficulties began and finding practical ways to manage them day to day. Ingrid draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people name emotions and strengthen relationships. She also uses trauma-focused and existential perspectives when needed to address deeper wounds or questions about meaning.
Her background includes 14 years of professional experience and a past career in nursing, specialising in cancer and clinical trials in the NHS. She holds BACP registration, which is a professional credential in the UK. In sessions she encourages openness about feelings such as shame, guilt, anger, numbness or overwhelm.
The work often involves noticing patterns, rebuilding trust in oneself, and practising new ways of relating. Ingrid offers both in-person and online options to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice, name and move through strong emotions so they can change painful relationship patterns or personal responses to stress. It is useful when feelings like shame, anger or hurt get in the way of connection. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape how we relate now and helps people build more supported ways of connecting and trusting others. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, using acceptance and attentive listening to help someone find their own answers and resources.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative decision can change over time as the work unfolds and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer written reflection or need support between synchronous sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
