Katie Rennison

Katie Rennison is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction and relationship issues. She also supports people facing trauma, intimacy and attachment difficulties, eating and sleep problems, ADHD and self-esteem concerns. Katie aims to create a respectful space where clients feel heard and valued.

With three years' counselling experience, Katie describes her approach as integrative and person-centred. She believes there is no single method that fits everyone, so she blends ideas from different therapies to meet each person's needs. This includes paying close attention to the relationship in the room and listening with empathy.

Katie has experience working for two years as an in-house counsellor within the NHS, supporting people with a wide range of issues. Her work has included anxiety, depression, family strain, abuse and addiction, alongside neurodiversity-related concerns such as ADHD and autism.

She has a particular interest in how trauma affects wellbeing and mental health. In sessions she aims to help clients make sense of their experiences and find practical ways to cope and move forward. Katie emphasises pacing therapy to suit each person.

Clients can expect a non-judgemental stance and an emphasis on being listened to. Katie focuses on helping people notice patterns, build understanding, and try small changes that fit their life. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

How Katie adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Katie uses client-centred work to prioritise the person's experience and what matters most to them. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain and life transitions.

She also draws on trauma-focused ideas to help people understand how past events shape current reactions. This can involve stabilising techniques, grounding and pacing the work so people feel able to reflect on difficult memories without becoming overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Katie will work collaboratively to choose which methods to try based on a person's goals, preferences and how they respond in sessions. That means approaches can shift over time as needs change.

For practicalities, please confirm available session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy often helps fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time and can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. When considering remote sessions, think about what makes it easier for you to speak openly and fit therapy into your daily life.
