About Katie
Katie Rennison is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain and trauma. She also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, low self esteem and parenting pressures. Katie has a particular interest in how trauma shapes wellbeing and day to day functioning.
Katie works in a humanistic, person-centred way. She listens first and asks questions that help people say what matters to them.
Background and approach
The therapy room is described as a place to be heard without judgement and to work at a pace that feels right. She blends different approaches rather than using a single method. That means sessions can include practical steps, reflective conversation and grounding or mindfulness ideas as needed.
Katie aims to tailor each session to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script. Katie has three years of counselling experience and has spent two years working in-house for NHS doctors. That role involved supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family issues, ADHD, autism and recovery from addiction.
This background informs how she understands a wide range of life challenges. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship first. From there Katie helps people explore feelings, notice patterns, practise coping skills and plan small steps forward.
She works in English and accepts international clients for online sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the person as the expert on their own life. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk, regain confidence and make sense of their feelings. Mindfulness-based ideas help people notice their thoughts and sensations in the moment and can be useful for anxiety, stress and sleep problems. Solution-focused therapy looks at what is already working and builds small, practical steps to reach clearer goals; it can be helpful when someone wants short-term direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss different ways of working and together you will decide what fits best with your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means sessions can change over time as progress or priorities shift.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or mobility limits and let people choose what feels most comfortable for them.
