About Katie
Katie Rennison is a counsellor with three years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship strain. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can speak without feeling judged. Her approach centres on building trust through listening and genuine empathy.
Katie practises from a person-centred perspective, believing each person knows their own life best. She draws on a range of approaches to shape sessions around individual needs instead of using a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
This flexible way of working is intended to fit the person, not force the person to fit the therapy. For two years she worked as an in-house counsellor for NHS doctors, supporting people with a wide range of concerns. That role exposed her to issues such as addiction recovery, ADHD, autism, abuse, low self-esteem and fractured family relations.
It also deepened her interest in how trauma affects wellbeing. Katie emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the most important part of the work. She aims to listen deeply and offer unconditional positive regard so clients can explore feelings at their own pace.
By hearing what matters to someone, she then works collaboratively to find practical ways forward. Sessions can blend techniques from different models, including solution-focused, existential and trauma-focused approaches. Katie describes counselling as a place to be accepted, where people do not have to edit themselves and can work through difficulties in a way that feels right for them.

Online support
Existential therapy invites discussion about meaning, choice and values. It can be useful when people are coping with major life changes, questions about identity or feelings of disconnection.
Katie will help clients choose the best approach as part of the therapeutic process. She will talk through goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt the work collaboratively rather than using a fixed method from the start.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or different time zones while keeping the focus on the relationship and the work that needs to be done.
