About Katie
Katie McGhee NCPS is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience in private practice. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, and depression. She also draws on a long background advising people in welfare rights contexts.
Before moving into full-time counselling Katie completed an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling. She also spent 24 years working as a Welfare Rights Officer, providing an advice service and advocating for people who needed support. That mix of clinical training and practical advocacy shapes how she works.
Katie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and solution-focused approaches. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also offers trauma-focused approaches when past events are affecting day-to-day life.
Sessions aim to be direct and structured. Katie works with agreed goals and practical strategies you can try between meetings. She pays attention to how everyday problems - sleep, parenting strains, work stress, or relationship friction - affect mood and behaviour.
Her stated focus areas include coping with life change, addictions, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Katie works in English and practises in the UK. If you want to move forward she asks clients to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How Katie uses CBT, client-centred and solution-focused methods online
Katie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred work and solution-focused techniques in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour and testing small changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing unhelpful habits.Client-centred methods mean the counsellor listens without directing and helps the person set the pace. Solution-focused work narrows in on practical steps and small goals to try between sessions, which can suit people wanting concrete tools for day-to-day problems.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. Katie will discuss your needs and preferences, then agree a plan together. She checks in on what is or is not working and adjusts the approach as therapy proceeds.
