About Katie
Katie Rennison helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and trauma. She also supports concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, sleep or eating problems, low self-esteem, ADHD and parenting strain. Katie works with LGBT clients and those facing major life changes and compassion fatigue.
Katie uses a person-centred way of working. She listens with empathy and aims to give people space to be themselves without judgement.
Background and approach
The relationship in the room is central to how she works; building trust comes first before deciding what to tackle together. She blends a handful of approaches rather than relying on one method. That means sessions can include goal-focused conversations, gentle mindfulness exercises, and exploration of meaning and values.
When trauma has shaped someone’s experience she brings a trauma-informed focus to the pace and structure of sessions. Katie has three years of counselling experience. She spent two years working as an in-house counsellor for NHS doctors, supporting a wide range of issues from addiction recovery to anxiety, depression, ADHD and autism-related concerns.
That background informs how she responds to stress and workplace pressures. Sessions are aimed at helping people make small, manageable changes. Katie tailors each plan to the individual, taking elements from Client-Centred, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness and Trauma-Focused approaches.
She encourages practical steps, clearer communication, and self-compassion as part of everyday life. People who meet her can expect steady, respectful listening and a pace that suits them. Katie describes therapy as a shared process where understanding grows over time and practical choices become clearer.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, sleep issues and managing strong emotions. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how traumatic events affect a person and uses careful, paced work to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Katie will talk through clients' goals and preferences and suggest a blend of methods that fit those needs. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try small changes and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and keep a closer therapeutic connection. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers written conversation. These options give flexibility to match therapy to different schedules and communication styles.
