About Katie

Katie McGhee is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of practice in private work and a background in welfare rights advice spanning 24 years. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem problems, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Katie uses a mix of client-centred listening and practical therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods. She adapts the plan to what each person needs and what they want to achieve. Sessions will focus on clear steps people can use between meetings as well as talking through the feelings behind problems.

Her prior work as a Welfare Rights Officer involved providing a counselling advice service and advocating for people navigating complex systems. That background informs a practical, rights-aware approach to problem solving and coping strategies. It also contributes to helping people manage stress linked to paperwork, benefits or workplace pressures.

In sessions Katie pays attention to immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. She will work with a person to identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviours and set small achievable goals. Trauma-focused methods are available for people who need them, used alongside stabilising skill-building.

The overall aim is straightforward: reduce the things that make daily life harder, and build tools to manage future setbacks. To start, people are invited to complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How Katie uses practical therapies in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and helps people clarify what matters to them. It supports issues such as distress, relationship strain and low self-esteem by making space for a person to describe their experience and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and anger management and includes exercises to practise between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the presenting issues and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a day, to keep appointments while balancing work or childcare, or to try shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can also use online ways of working to put in practical tools, homework and structured interventions that suit everyday life.
