About Katie
Katie Rennison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties, and supports those affected by trauma and abuse.
Katie draws on humanistic and integrative ideas to shape the work. She listens without judgement and aims to build a steady working relationship. That relationship is used to explore what is happening now and what matters to the person in front of her.
Her practice often helps people who are coping with low self-esteem, family and parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, and difficulties around intimacy and attachment. She has supported recovery from addiction and worked with issues related to ADHD and autism during an in-house role with NHS doctors.
Katie takes a flexible approach rather than relying on a single method. She uses Client-Centred ideas alongside Solution-Focused and Mindfulness elements, and draws on Trauma-Focused and Existential thinking when needed. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with attention to day-to-day coping and longer-term meaning.
People who come to Katie can expect to work at a pace that suits them. She emphasises listening and understanding before offering suggestions. The focus is on helping someone name what is difficult and find steps they can try between sessions.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client make sense of their own experience. It suits people who want a steady, respectful relationship to reflect on feelings and choices. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to calm racing thoughts, useful for anxiety and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what works now, which can help when someone needs quick, manageable strategies for day-to-day life.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different techniques and agree what fits best. That decision is reviewed over time and adjusted to reflect progress and changing needs.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, and make it easier to schedule a short check-in during a break. Online work can also allow quieter, longer or more frequent sessions depending on what the client needs. Registered or accredited professionals will describe available formats when arranging the first appointment.
