Katie Rennison , BACP

Katie Rennison is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction and a wide range of women's issues. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Katie works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse and with those facing life changes such as separation, illness or bereavement.

Katie uses a person-centred way of working that puts the relationship first. She listens with empathy and aims to help people feel valued and respected. Her approach encourages clients to name what matters to them and to move at their own pace.

She combines practical, goal-focused tools with reflective space. Solution-Focused methods help set clear steps forward. Mindfulness exercises and trauma-focused ideas can support coping with difficult memories and strong emotions.

Katie trained as an integrative humanistic counsellor and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She has three years of counselling experience, including two years working in-house for NHS doctors. In that role she supported people with anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, ADHD, autism and abuse-related concerns.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and adaptable. Katie tailors each course of work by drawing on different methods to meet individual needs. She invites people to bring their whole story and works alongside them to find practical ways to manage daily life and longer-term change.

People who want to begin are encouraged to consider what they hope to get from therapy and to pick a session format that fits their routine and commitments.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-centred work focuses on building a strong, respectful relationship where the person is listened to and helped to find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a steady, empathic space to talk things through and make choices that feel right to them.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical steps and small changes that can make daily life easier. It can help when the aim is to set clear goals or try new habits. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings with less reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss methods and try different ways of working with you. Together you will decide which tools and pace suit your needs, goals and personal preferences in therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
