Katie McGhee works primarily through talking therapies that centre on the person. She frames sessions around what matters to the individual and adapts techniques to suit each situation. Katie draws on six years of professional practice alongside long experience in welfare advice and client advocacy.

Her background includes an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling and a lengthy career as a Welfare Rights Officer. That role involved offering counselling advice and representing people’s concerns, which shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to helping others.

Background and approach

Katie combines that experience with formal therapeutic training to guide people through difficult times. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Clients can expect to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties.

She also works with concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger and changes at work or in life. Katie uses techniques from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work depending on the need. She explains options in simple terms and co‑creates a plan that feels manageable.

Progress is checked regularly so plans can change when required. Her style is respectful, sensitive and compassionate. People who value clear explanations and practical steps often find this approach helpful.

Katie practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How Katie's Approaches Work Online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, offering space to be heard and understood while the counsellor follows the person's lead. It helps people who need empathy, clearer self-understanding and support to make choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss options and try methods that fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to decide whether a more reflective client-centred route or a structured CBT plan suits best, and she adjusts the focus as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter appointments. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical steps and ongoing support.
