Katie McGhee , NCPS

Katie McGhee is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional practice in private settings and a long history of advocacy work. She holds NCPS, a recognised counselling credential, and has completed an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling, reflecting extended training in therapeutic methods and client care.

Before focusing on private therapy, Katie spent 24 years as a Welfare Rights Officer, delivering a counselling advice service and acting as an advocate for people navigating difficult systems. That background informs her practical, person-focused approach, combining clinical techniques with an understanding of real-world challenges.

Katie works with people experiencing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and depression, and she tailors each treatment plan to fit individual circumstances. Her practice incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods, selected to meet the needs of each client with sensitivity and respect.

Committed to treating everyone with compassion and attentiveness, Katie aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship and to adapt interventions so they are relevant, achievable, and aligned with each personâs goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Katie uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the clientâs perspective at the heart of sessions, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore feelings and priorities and work toward clearer self-understanding. This approach is helpful for people facing life transitions, low self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to change behavior and mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it provides clear tools for coping and problem solving.

When appropriate, Katie draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set specific goals and build on existing strengths, concentrating on small, achievable steps that move a person toward desired outcomes.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Katie collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so treatment remains a good fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow clients to engage from home or other convenient places while maintaining continuity of care and connection with a licensed professional.
