About Katie
Katie Rennison is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. She supports those coping with grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people managing ADHD, bipolar or the fallout from trauma and abuse. Katie offers a calm, listening presence so clients can be heard without judgement.
She uses a person-centred stance that treats the client as the expert on their own life. That means listening first, then shaping sessions around what the client needs. Katie also draws on mindfulness, solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused practices to meet different concerns in practical ways.
Katie has three years of counselling experience and spent two years working as an in-house counsellor in an NHS doctors service. There she supported people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship strain, fractured family relations, addiction recovery, ADHD and autism-related issues.
Trauma and its effects on wellbeing are a particular interest. Katie aims to help people understand how past events affect current patterns and to find manageable ways to move forward. She focuses on creating safety and trust through genuine listening and unconditional positive regard.
Sessions are shaped at the client’s pace. Katie tailors the work by combining elements from different therapeutic approaches rather than using only one method. The result is a practical, person-focused way of working that pays attention to what matters most to each individual.
How Katie's approaches can work online
Client-centred work focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. In online sessions this means the counsellor helps clients feel heard and understood, then follows the client’s pace to explore concerns such as sleep problems, anxiety or relationship stress.Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple awareness and grounding exercises. These can help with stress, sleep patterns and managing intense feelings by using short practices and gentle attention to bodily signals. Trauma-focused approaches look at how past events shape present reactions and offer ways to build new coping strategies over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree on a plan together. This collaborative process can include trying different ways of working and adjusting as needed.
