About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, anger, low self‑esteem and depression. Ingrid also supports those dealing with life changes and compassion fatigue.
She uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy alongside attachment‑based and client‑centred ways of working. In sessions she invites people to talk through their story and notice how strong emotions and past experiences shape current reactions. She pays attention to feelings like shame, guilt, anger or numbness and how they show up in relationships.
Ingrid describes counselling as a chance to make sense of what has happened and to see patterns that were hard to spot before. Conversations focus on understanding behaviour, improving communication and finding clearer ways to cope. She will listen to what you bring and work at a pace that suits your comfort level.
Her background includes many years in nursing in NHS cancer services and cancer clinical trials before moving into private counselling in 2011. That clinical experience informs how she responds to concerns linked to illness, loss and medical stress.
People can expect straightforward, emotion‑centred dialogue that aims to clarify what feels stuck and to identify practical coping steps. If there are relationship issues at the centre of distress, Ingrid integrates approaches that address attachment patterns and emotional connection.
How Ingrid blends EFT and attachment work in online sessions
Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the role of emotions in relationships. It helps people name their feelings, trace patterns that keep repeating, and shift how they respond to one another. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how they shape present relationships. It is useful when patterns of distance, avoidance or fear of abandonment affect trust and closeness. Client‑Centred Therapy emphasises listening and working at a comfortable pace. The counsellor follows the person’s lead and reflects back what comes up in conversation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ingrid will explore your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. That collaborative step helps match emotional focus, attachment perspectives or client‑centred listening to the issues you bring. For practical arrangements, please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or medical appointments and they can reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check‑in meetings when that suits your schedule or quieter audio‑only conversations when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the way they work online to help sessions fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
