About Katie
Katie McGhee is a counsellor with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She uses a caring, straightforward approach to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and depression. Her background also includes long experience providing welfare rights advice alongside counselling support.
She draws on client-centred work to create a calm, respectful space where people set the pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy is offered to identify helpful changes in thinking and routine.
Background and approach
Solution-focused techniques guide practical steps for immediate problems and goals. Katie spent 24 years working as a Welfare Rights Officer and provided a counselling advice service during that time. That role sharpened her skills in listening, advocacy and practical problem solving alongside emotional support.
She uses that experience to help people balance emotional and everyday pressures. Katie holds an NCPS credential and has completed an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling. She explains qualifications plainly and uses them to inform her practice rather than as the central focus of sessions.
Sessions are tailored to each person's concerns and preferences. Katie aims to work collaboratively on realistic steps for change, drawing on a mix of short-term strategies and deeper conversation. Many people come for help with coping, mood, sleep and relationship strains.
Her approach is down-to-earth and practical. Conversations focus on what feels achievable next, whether that is small behavioural shifts, breathing and sleep strategies, or clearer communication with others.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often includes short exercises and simple homework to try new ways of thinking or behaving and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will talk through options and help decide what fits the person's goals and preferences. That choice is a collaborative step and can change as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video works well for deeper conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, step-by-step problem solving or when someone needs written reflections between sessions. These options make regular contact easier to fit into busy lives and support continuity of work across time zones and schedules.
