About Katie

Katie McGhee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience in independent practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Katie is also experienced in supporting those dealing with addiction, anger, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

She holds an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling and is listed with NCPS. Before focusing on counselling she spent 24 years as a Welfare Rights Officer, offering advice and speaking up for people who needed help.

Background and approach

That background shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to talking through problems. Sessions are tailored to each person. Katie uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the individual.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural tools to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. When trauma or abuse is part of the story she applies trauma-focused methods alongside other approaches. She uses solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable steps when clients want faster change or specific goals.

Katie aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. She works collaboratively to build a plan that matches each person’s needs and pace. Practical strategies and steady support are emphasised throughout therapy.

How Katie uses therapy online to address trauma and change

Trauma-focused therapy holds attention to how past harms affect current feelings and reactions. It involves gentle pacing, grounding strategies and repeated conversations about experiences so people can make sense of what happened and reduce overwhelming responses. This approach can help with symptoms of trauma, anxiety and difficulty sleeping.

Client-centred work is about being heard. The therapist reflects what matters to the person and follows their pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, gives clear steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, depression and everyday stress.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Katie will listen to your history, goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try together. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you read facial expression and body language, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship.
