About Katie
Katie McGhee draws on a client-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She combines practical techniques with listening and empathy to support people through stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She has six years working in independent practice and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside other approaches.
Katie also spent 24 years as a Welfare Rights Officer offering counselling advice and representing people’s concerns, which shapes how she listens and advocates in sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Katie works with people on relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, addictions, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with parenting strain, sleeping problems, career questions and the effects of trauma and abuse.
When someone starts, Katie will listen to what matters most and then tailor a plan that fits their needs. That might include short-term solution-focused work or longer trauma-focused work depending on the situation. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through feelings, try new ways of coping and build small, manageable changes over time.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, sleeping problems and low mood because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods so they fit the person’s situation. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats help people access consistent support from registered or accredited professionals without long travel times.
