About Katie

Katie Rennison is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and codependency. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges around self-esteem and ADHD. Katie works with people who are navigating life changes, caregiver strain, chronic illness, bereavement and other complex losses.

Katie uses a person-centred outlook and draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She listens with empathy and aims to create a respectful space where people can speak without editing themselves. Building trust is central to her work, and she focuses on understanding how someone sees their world before deciding next steps.

Her background includes three years of counselling experience and two years working in-house with NHS doctors. In that role she supported a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, abuse, neglect, ADHD, autism and recovery from addiction. This experience shapes how she responds to complex and overlapping concerns.

Katie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She offers counselling from the United Kingdom and sees clients in English. International clients are also accepted through the service.

Therapy with Katie is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. She combines elements from different modalities to build a plan that suits each person’s pace and preferences. The emphasis is on a steady, collaborative process that helps people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and choices, which helps with self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. It can help reduce anxiety, improve sleep and make strong emotions easier to manage.

Katie will work with the person to decide which approach or combination of approaches fits best. That choice is collaborative - she will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt the work as needed over time.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. Different ways of meeting can suit different needs, so confirm the exact session options before booking. The focus is on practical, consistent work that fits into daily routines and helps people take steady steps forward.
