About Katie
Katie McGhee is a counsellor who emphasises a person-centred approach. She brings six years of private practice experience and a background in welfare rights to her work. Katie holds an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling and uses that training to support people through hard times.
Katie often helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship difficulties, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing issues such as addictions, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career-related strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Her practice aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate.
In sessions she adapts the plan to what each person needs. Katie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred methods, Solution-Focused techniques and Trauma-Focused approaches where appropriate. She describes therapy in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Before her current work she spent 24 years as a Welfare Rights Officer, offering counselling and advice and acting as an advocate for people in need. That experience informs how she listens and helps clients name priorities and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgement. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what is said to help people clarify their feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and coping.Katie will work with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches to use. Figuring out the right method is a shared process that considers your needs, your goals and what feels workable. She adapts plans over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed and making it simpler to schedule around work or childcare. It can also make it easier to continue regular sessions during times of change, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and exercises that can be done between meetings.
