About Katie
Katie Rennison is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain and recovery from addiction. She also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting pressures, sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD and the ripple effects of illness or caregiving. Katie uses a calm, respectful approach and aims to make people feel heard from the first session.
Katie draws on three years of counselling experience and has worked in an NHS in-house role supporting doctors.
Background and approach
That work involved a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, fractured family relations, abuse, neglect and addiction recovery. Her experience has shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. Her work is grounded in a person-centred way of being with people.
She listens with empathy and unconditional positive regard so clients can speak freely and make their own choices about change. Sessions focus on building trust and understanding rather than rushing to solutions. Katie also uses existential ideas to help people look at meaning, values and life choices when they feel stuck.
Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused conversations are sometimes used to manage symptoms and set achievable steps forward. Trauma-informed ways of working are available when past harm affects present life. People describe her approach as patient and practical, with therapy tailored to each person.
Katie aims to collaborate on goals and pace, helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward from wherever they start.

Online support
How Katie blends approaches for online therapy
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, freedom and choices when life feels confusing or empty. It helps people consider values and what matters to them in the face of loss, big decisions or life transitions.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and listening. The therapist provides a respectful space so people can explore feelings and find their own solutions at their own pace.
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness exercises to reduce rumination and manage stress. These short practices can help with anxiety, sleep problems and staying present during difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client decide which methods feel most useful. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what the person needs right now.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be quicker and needs less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
