Katie Rennison
Person-centred counsellor for stress and trauma
About Katie
Katie Rennison specialises in helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those facing relationship strain, addictions, issues with self-esteem, sleep or eating, and people navigating life changes or caregiver stress. Katie offers an accepting space where people can be heard without judgement.
Katie has three years' experience as a counsellor and has worked within NHS settings supporting doctors and staff. There she encountered a wide range of concerns including anxiety, low mood, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, autism and recovery from addiction.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Her style is person-centred and collaborative. Katie listens carefully and aims to build trust through empathy and respect.
She believes the quality of the therapeutic relationship makes change possible and helps people find their own solutions. She uses a mix of approaches depending on each person’s needs. Techniques may include trauma-focused work for those affected by abuse, solution-focused steps for practical problems, mindfulness to manage stress, and existential themes about meaning and choice.
Katie adapts what she offers to suit each person's pace and preferences. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Katie highlights gentle, steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If someone wants a thoughtful counsellor who listens and works alongside them, she aims to provide that steady support.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your needs
Client-centred therapy is about listening and working from your experience. The counsellor offers empathy and unconditional positive regard so you can explore feelings and choices at your own pace. This approach can help when someone needs to feel heard and understood.Trauma-focused therapy targets the effects of past harm and its impact on daily life. It uses focused ways of working to help reduce distress linked to traumatic events and to build safer patterns in relationships and routines. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce worry and improve sleep and concentration.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together what methods make most sense. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat helps when typing feels easier, and messaging can be used for short check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady, meaningful progress.
