About Katie
Katie McGhee is a counsellor with six years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She holds an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling and uses a down-to-earth style to help people facing anxiety and stress. Katie draws on practical talking methods to make sessions feel clear and manageable.
She has long experience as a Welfare Rights Officer, where she provided a counselling advice service for twenty-four years. That background means she is used to listening to practical problems alongside emotional ones.
Background and approach
Katie offers support for grief, depression, relationship worries and life changes as well as difficulties with sleep, anger and self-esteem. Her approach is person-centred, so conversations follow what matters most to the client. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to build small changes that make daily life easier.
Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and measure progress. Katie aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She works collaboratively to agree what to focus on and which techniques to use.
The result is a plan that fits day-to-day demands and personal priorities. Sessions can include practical exercises, gentle problem solving and space to talk through painful experiences. The emphasis is on steady, useful steps rather than quick fixes.
Katie tries to make therapy straightforward and relevant so people can get on with their lives. She offers a calm, respectful space for people dealing with anxiety and related concerns. Conversations are paced to match how someone feels, with tools provided to cope between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of each session and follows the topics they bring. It helps people feel heard and makes it easier to work out what matters most in day-to-day life.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments. It is often used for anxiety, stress and sleep problems because it breaks issues down into clear steps and practical exercises.
Katie sees finding the right approach as a shared task. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide whether to use person-centred listening, CBT techniques or solution-focused tasks and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and daily life.
