Katie Rennison, BACP

Katie Rennison supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and challenges linked to trauma and addiction. She welcomes conversations about self-esteem, parenting pressures, sleep and eating worries, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. Katie presents as a steady presence who listens without judgement and aims to help people find practical ways forward.

She trained as a humanistic, integrative counsellor and has three years' experience. For two years she worked in an in-house role for NHS doctors, seeing a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, abuse, neglect, addiction and neurodiversity related concerns. That work helped shape her interest in how trauma affects everyday life and wellbeing.

Katie uses a person-centred base, meaning she starts from the client’s perspective and builds the work around their priorities. She draws on solution-focused ideas to set manageable goals, mindfulness to develop present-moment coping, existential thinking to address meaning and choice, and trauma-focused approaches when past harm affects daily life.

Therapy with Katie aims to be practical and compassionate. Sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns, and trying small changes that fit into a person's life. The pace and techniques are tailored so each person can work in a way that feels right for them.

Katie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places attention on the person rather than the problem. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them make their own choices about change. This approach suits people who want a respectful, non-directive space to be heard.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects present thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It involves paced work to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to build safer ways of managing triggers and distress.

Katie treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as understanding grows. The aim is a collaborative plan that matches needs and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use these options to make therapy more practical while keeping focus on progress and everyday coping.
