About Katie
Katie Rennison, BACP, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship problems, addiction recovery and codependency. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and the aftereffects of trauma.
Katie practises from a humanistic, integrative standpoint. She starts by listening and getting a clear sense of how someone experiences their life. That helps her decide which methods might help most, rather than applying a single fixed model.
Sessions focus on honest conversation about what is happening in daily life. Katie uses person-centred listening so people can talk through problems like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living with another person’s moods or drinking. She aims to build trust by showing consistent respect and acceptance.
She draws on approaches including client-centred work, existential ideas and mindfulness, and uses solution-focused and trauma-informed techniques where helpful. In practice this means exploring patterns, noticing moments of choice, and developing small, practical steps to try between sessions.
Katie has experience working in an in-house role supporting healthcare staff and people in recovery from addiction. That background informs her awareness of burnout, compassion fatigue and the stress carers can face. People who contact her are invited to go at their own pace and to shape the work around what feels manageable.
Before booking, readers should check current session options and scheduling details. The therapist asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How Katie’s approaches translate to online work
Katie uses client-centred listening and trauma-focused thinking alongside mindfulness practice. Client-centred work means the focus stays on how the person tells their story and what matters to them. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, people-pleasing and relationship patterns.Trauma-focused approaches look at the effects of past harm on current reactions and coping. This can help people understand why they respond strongly to certain triggers and begin to try different, safer ways of responding. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing skills that reduce moment-to-moment stress and improve sleep and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Katie will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will test what works best. That means checking in and adapting methods as therapy progresses rather than committing to one single plan up front.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and remove travel time. Practical benefits include greater flexibility around timing and the option to work from different locations that suit daily routines.
