About Ingrid
Ingrid Koehler is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma and grief. She is experienced at talking through intimacy concerns, codependency and struggles with self-esteem and anger. Ingrid aims to make it easier to understand painful experiences and find practical ways to cope.
She listens with respect and compassion and tailors conversations to each person. Sessions begin by exploring the story a person brings and then look at what helps most now. Ingrid encourages people to name their emotions and to notice patterns that affect relationships and daily life.
Her background includes many years working in counselling since 2011, alongside earlier experience as a nurse in cancer care and clinical trials in the NHS. That mix of health and counselling work shapes a calm, grounded way of talking about loss and illness as well as emotional trauma.
In therapy she draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work to look at how connections with others affect feelings and behaviour. She also uses trauma-focused and existential approaches to address painful events and help people consider meaning in their lives.
Sessions are offered in English and Ingrid accepts international clients. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. If someone wants to explore their next steps, she asks that they start by completing a short matching questionnaire to plan the first session.
How her approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people understand why they respond in certain ways in close relationships and can be useful for attachment issues and codependency.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and aims to name and change patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used for intimacy concerns and improving communication and connection.
Finding the right approach is something to explore together. The therapist will discuss a person's goals, needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and can change as therapy progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue therapy when illness, work or location make in-person visits difficult. Registered and accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help plan sessions that suit daily routines and commitments.
