Katie Rennison, BACP

Katie Rennison is a counsellor with three years' experience who helps people facing midlife changes, stress, anxiety and loss. She works with common concerns such as depression, relationship strain, addiction recovery and family tensions. Katie aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and begin to find direction in difficult times.

She practises from a humanistic, person-centred perspective and believes the therapeutic relationship is key. Katie listens with empathy and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their experience without pressure. She draws on different approaches to suit each person rather than using a single fixed method.

Her work includes attention to trauma and how it affects daily life and wellbeing. Katie has supported people with trauma, abuse, ADHD, autism and addiction, and she is interested in how past disruption shapes present relationships and self-view.

In sessions she encourages people to notice what matters most to them and to try small, manageable steps forward. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are often used to help with stress, sleep and problem-solving. She adapts pace and tone according to each person’s needs.

Katie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and may then schedule according to her availability.

How Katie’s approaches work online and in practice

Client-centred work focuses on listening carefully and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, to make sense of life changes, or to regain confidence in their choices.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and concentration. It is useful for people struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts or difficulties switching off.

Solution-focused ideas concentrate on small, achievable steps and what is already working. This practical angle supports people who want clear, short-term goals and quick ways to test changes in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, please check which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit quieter conversations when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera.
