About Katharine

Katharine Bax is a humanistic counsellor who works from empathy and authenticity. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her aim is to help people build emotional strength and find ways to cope with life’s changes.

Katharine offers both short-term and longer-term work. She supports adults through common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and bereavement. She also helps people who want a calm space to reflect and gain clarity without a specific diagnosis.

Background and approach

Her approach centres on listening without judgement and following the client’s pace. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her and on practical steps to manage difficult feelings. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday experience.

Katharine has a particular interest in people from creative arts backgrounds and understands the pressures that can come with creative work. That perspective informs how she helps clients untangle stress, isolation and questions about purpose. With four years of professional experience, she combines steady support with simple tools you can use between sessions.

The emphasis is on building resilience and helping people make choices that feel right for their life.

Ways of working Katharine names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy is a humanistic approach that focuses on understanding the person’s experience without judgement. The counsellor listens actively and reflects what is said, helping people feel heard and understood while they work through anxiety, low mood or grief.

Humanistic counselling places emphasis on personal growth and the individual’s capacity to change. It suits people who want a collaborative space to build resilience, gain clarity and make choices that feel right for them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katharine will help you decide which way of working fits your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as the sessions progress so the plan can change if needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for a more personal face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or need flexible timing around work or other commitments. These formats make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life while keeping focus on practical steps and emotional support.
