Katie McGhee
Mindful, practical counselling for everyday life
About Katie
Katie McGhee offers a gentle, person-centred approach to therapy. She combines practical techniques with listening and understanding. Katie aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
She works in English and practises from the United Kingdom. Katie draws on six years of experience in independent practice alongside many years supporting people as a Welfare Rights Officer. That role involved giving counselling-style advice and advocating for people, which shaped her practical, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps spot unhelpful thoughts and build clearer, more helpful ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, achievable steps and build on what is already working.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is available for those dealing with past hurt or abuse and is used carefully and at a pace the person chooses. Katie supports people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, addictions, career worries and compassion fatigue.
She also works with people managing ADHD and major life changes. Sessions are tailored to each person, with practical tools and clear goals when helpful. Katie emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts the plan to fit each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic space where the person leads the conversation. The therapist listens carefully and reflects back what they hear to help people clarify their own priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.Katie will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. That means talking through goals, trying an approach for a few sessions, and adjusting based on what helps. The choice of method is made together and can change over time as needs and preferences evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a busy day more easily. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers to type rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments.
