How to beat Rell as Senna: the early game

Levels 1-4 are even: Rell's engage is short-range and telegraphed early, so poke her with Q, deny her the mount stun by spacing, and keep your ADC out of a double-W-Crash angle. Her engage is slow and readable, so collect souls freely while it is on cooldown. Heal your carry through the chip, hold the root for the moment she commits her charge, and let the range you accumulate keep you outside the ground she needs to reach.
