Katie Rennison helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a range of family and parenting concerns. She also offers support for sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar adjustment, and compassion fatigue. Katie works with people facing life changes, chronic illness, codependency and attachment struggles.

Katie uses a person-centred, humanistic approach that starts with listening. She aims to build trust through empathy and unconditional positive regard, so clients can speak honestly and at their own pace.

Background and approach

Her work is collaborative - she follows the client’s lead while offering gentle reflection and practical tools when helpful. Her background includes three years of counselling experience and two years working as an in-house counsellor for NHS doctors.

In that role she supported a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to recovery from addiction and the effects of abuse and neglect. She has a particular interest in how trauma affects wellbeing. Katie draws on several therapeutic approaches rather than using a single method.

She blends client-centred work with elements of existential thinking, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-informed practice to tailor sessions to each person. This flexible mix is adapted to what helps the individual most. Katie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds experience in both one-to-one and counselling settings, and works in English.

She aims to offer a steady, respectful space where people can talk through what matters and find clearer footing.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-centred therapy is about listening and following the person’s pace. The therapist focuses on empathy and understanding so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices about change. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to help manage stress, anxiety and sleep or eating struggles by bringing awareness to the present moment. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of past harm and reducing its hold on daily life, using paced, supportive work to build safety and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That plan is reviewed and changed as needed so the work stays useful and client-led.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are low-bandwidth and can be easier when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still accessing help from registered or accredited professionals.
