About Katie

Katie McGhee is a counsellor with six years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom and a long background advising people on welfare rights. She blends practical listening with clear, goal-focused work to help people manage stress, anxiety and anger. Katie uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone feeling overwhelmed.

Her day-to-day approach is person-centred, so conversations start with what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that can reduce worry and low mood. Solution-focused ideas are brought in when people want quick, practical steps to move forward.

Katie also draws on experience of trauma-focused work for people coping with abuse or hard events. She has spent many years offering counselling-style advice while working as a Welfare Rights Officer, which means she is used to listening to people in difficult situations and helping them find next steps.

Sessions are tailored to the person's needs and goals rather than following a fixed programme. Katie aims to work with each person at a pace that feels manageable, whether the focus is on grief, relationships, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD or career stress.

She holds NCPS and has combined therapy work with long-term advocacy experience. Prospective clients are encouraged to follow the site's booking steps to match with her and arrange a first session.

How Katie uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, with the counsellor providing empathic listening and gentle guidance. It helps when someone needs to be heard and wants to build clarity about their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, sleep problems and patterns that keep returning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the person and agree together what to try first. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure the choices match changing needs and goals.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions around family, work or travel commitments and makes it easier to attend regular meetings. Online work can also make brief check-ins or practical skill-building exercises simpler to arrange. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you schedule to find what suits everyday life and your therapeutic goals.
