About Katharine
Katharine Bax is a Humanistic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Katharine also helps people confronting guilt, loneliness, social anxiety and questions about life purpose.
She offers both shorter and longer-term work. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns in their feelings and responses. Katharine uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing the conversation.
People who come from creative arts backgrounds are welcome, as she has a particular interest in the pressures that can come with creative work. Katharine supports people who do not have a formal diagnosis but want clearer thinking and emotional support while they consider next steps.
In sessions she gives space for people to talk through what matters to them. She pays attention to how feelings affect daily routines and decision-making. Practical conversation can include coping strategies, ways to manage social anxiety, and ways to move forward after bereavement or big life changes.
Her aim is steady, unhurried work that helps clients build resilience over time. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see how the counsellor and client might work together.
Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client's own experience. The counsellor listens without directing and reflects what the client brings. This approach suits people who want space to clarify values, life purpose and what matters after major changes.In practice this means sessions focus on understanding feelings and choices. The counsellor supports clients to notice patterns, try small changes and weigh options. That process is collaborative - the counsellor and client decide together which approaches feel most helpful as work progresses.
Practical aspects of online working depend on the session options offered. The biography does not list specific formats here, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit conversations into a week, allow a quieter check-in when time is limited, or remove travel time so people can use a break from work for a short appointment. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt pacing and tools to suit each person's needs, and Katharine can discuss what will work best during an initial meeting.
