About Katie
Katie McGhee is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She draws on her background in psychotherapeutic counselling and long experience in welfare advice to offer practical, person-focused support. Katie aims to meet people where they are and to treat each person with respect and compassion.
She uses a clear, down-to-earth style in sessions and adapts her approach to each person's needs. Katie works with common concerns such as stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people with addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Before focusing on counselling, Katie spent 24 years as a Welfare Rights Officer. In that role she provided a counselling advice service and advocated on behalf of clients, which shaped her practical, problem-solving outlook.
That background informs how she listens and responds now in therapy. Katie uses methods from client-centred counselling alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused work. She explains options in plain language and helps people choose what feels most helpful.
Her NCPS credential is recorded as NCPS. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How Katie works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers concrete tools and practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit best with their goals and everyday life. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and it is discussed openly rather than imposed.
Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Online sessions can also make it easier to use worksheets, screen-share resources and try practical exercises between meetings, which suits approaches like CBT and solution-focused work.
