About Katie
Katie Rennison is a counsellor with three years' experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of family and relationship concerns. She lists parenting among her focus areas and also helps with grief, addiction recovery, trauma, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Katie works from a person-centred outlook and aims to make people feel listened to and respected. She spent two years as an in-house counsellor for an NHS doctors' service.
Background and approach
There she met people with anxiety, low mood, fractured family relations, abuse and neglect, and supported recovery from addiction. That role exposed her to varied and often complex presentations which inform her current practice. Katie describes her approach as integrative and humanistic.
She believes there is no single method that fits everyone, so she adapts the work to each person. Sessions tend to focus on building a trusting relationship, listening carefully, and exploring how a person sees their situation. When trauma is part of someone's story she pays particular attention to its effects on wellbeing.
She will work at the client pace, helping to make sense of distress and find practical steps forward. Techniques can include mindfulness practices and solution-focused ideas when these suit the person's goals. Katie holds BACP registration, works in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.
She frames counselling as a space where people can be themselves without judgement and where change is shaped by the client's own values and pace.

How Katie's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgment and follows what matters most to you, which can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting pressures. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress and sleeping or eating difficulties. These exercises can be practised between sessions to build calm and focus.The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for your situation. That means discussing goals, trying methods that fit your needs, and adjusting the plan as you go. Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy, not something you must already know.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls give visual contact that supports relational work, phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options help with flexibility, allowing people to keep therapy alongside work, childcare and other commitments while still accessing skilled support from registered or accredited professionals.
