Katie Rennison, BACP

Katie Rennison is an integrative humanistic counsellor with three years of professional experience and a BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from an integrative perspective, believing that no single method suits every person and that combining approaches allows therapy to be shaped around individual needs.

She spent two years working as an in-house counsellor for NHS doctors, supporting people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, fractured family dynamics, abuse and neglect, ADHD and autism, and recovery from addiction. Across this work she developed a particular interest in the effects of trauma and how traumatic experiences can influence wellbeing and mental health.

Katie aims to offer a reliable space where people feel valued and respected. She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work, building trust through genuine empathy and unconditional positive regard. By listening carefully she seeks to understand each person’s perspective and to collaborate on practical ways to move forward.

Working from a person-centred stance, Katie views clients as the experts on their own lives and tailors therapy by drawing on trained modalities such as Gestalt, solution-focused therapy, CBT, existential approaches and emotion-focused work. She offers a flexible, bespoke approach and looks forward to meeting people to begin that collaborative process.
