About Katie
BACP. 3 years' counselling experience. Katie Rennison works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns. She also supports people with self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Katie welcomes people from LGBT communities and those coping with life changes, chronic illness, cancer, or caregiving strain.
Katie describes herself as an integrative humanistic counsellor. She uses a person-centred stance and listens to understand how someone sees their world. Sessions focus on building trust so practical options can be explored together. She says the relationship in counselling is the most important part of change.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused work and Trauma-Focused Therapy. That means she may sit with feelings, help people find clearer choices, use mindful awareness exercises, or look at past events that continue to affect life now. The method is selected to match the person and the issue rather than sticking to a single model.
Katie has previous experience working in an in-house counselling role where she supported a wide range of concerns including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, neglect, abuse, and supporting recovery from addiction. This background informs how she supports people now.
Sessions are carried out in English and Katie accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm the current counselling session options on the platform. To begin, follow the site process to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions; this can be useful for low self-esteem, relationship concerns and many everyday struggles.Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and feelings with less reactivity. It can help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and managing difficult emotions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at experiences that continue to shape how someone feels and behaves today. It often combines careful listening with targeted methods to reduce the hold of past events on current life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will discuss preferences, goals and what feels helpful, and then try methods that suit the person's needs. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography did not specify formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if that suits them better or choose video when they want more visual connection. Registered or accredited professionals on the site will explain the practical choices when you schedule your first appointment.
