About Katie
Katie Rennison is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family difficulties. She works with concerns such as grief, addiction, LGBT-related issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and life changes. Katie holds BACP registration and has three years of counselling experience in the UK.
She uses a person-centred approach that treats each client as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Katie values listening with empathy and clear respect, and aims to build trust so people can speak honestly without feeling judged. Therapy is paced to suit each person and to help them feel heard. Katie combines elements from several approaches rather than following one model alone.
She draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help with coping and practical steps. She also pays attention to how trauma and attachment shape how people relate to themselves and others. Her background includes two years working as an in-house counsellor for NHS doctors, where she supported people with anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, ADHD, autism, and recovery from addiction.
That experience informs how she responds to complex or workplace-related stresses. In sessions Katie aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can explore difficult feelings. She works collaboratively to spot patterns, identify manageable goals, and find ways forward that fit a person’s life and values.

How Katie’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy is about listening and following what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk and make sense of feelings, and it informs how sessions are paced and shaped. Mindfulness therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without judgement and can help with anxiety, stress and sleeping problems. Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to how past harm affects current life and works to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. That means the plan can change as needs become clearer and as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, remove travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also help people access a therapist from another region or country, which is useful for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals usually work with clients to find times and rhythms that suit everyday life.
