About Katie
Katie McGhee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds an NCPS credential and has six years working in independent practice. Katie listens with respect and responds with practical steps to help people feel steadier day to day.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred methods and solution-focused ideas to tailor sessions to each person. That means conversations that aim to identify unhelpful thinking, try small changes, and build on what already works.
Background and approach
Katie also uses trauma-focused approaches when past events are affecting current life. Before independent practice, Katie spent 24 years as a Welfare Rights Officer providing a counselling advice service. That background informs a straightforward, advocacy-minded style.
She is used to helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Parents will find support for parenting challenges alongside issues like sleep, anger and intimacy-related struggles. Katie helps people facing career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, addictions and ADHD-related worries too.
Sessions are shaped around what feels useful for the individual. Her way of working is collaborative and practical. She explains techniques plainly, agrees small goals, and checks progress each step of the way.
People leave with tools they can use between sessions and clearer next steps.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. In online sessions that often means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them make sense of their priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. Online CBT can include working through thought records, trying small behavioural experiments and reviewing progress together. Solution-Focused Therapy aims to find quick, achievable steps and build on existing strengths, which works well when a person wants focused, goal-orientated work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options at the start and then collaborate with the person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That shared planning is revisited as work progresses so methods can be adjusted if needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer typing. These options help make therapy fit around work, caring duties and busy family life.
