About Katharine

Katharine Bax is a Humanistic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes, and has a particular focus on social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through difficult moments and find practical ways to cope.

She uses a client-centred approach that places the person's own experience at the heart of conversations. Katharine listens for what matters most and follows each person's pace. This can suit people who prefer a conversational style rather than a directive programme.

In practice she works with both short-term and longer-term appointments. People come to her when they need help with bereavement, shifting moods, or managing everyday pressures. She also supports those who want more clarity or reflection rather than a formal diagnosis.

Katharine takes an interest in the particular pressures faced by people from creative arts backgrounds and understands how that work can affect mood, confidence and motivation. She aims to make space for exploring shame, guilt, loneliness and questions about life purpose alongside more common concerns such as anxiety.

Her sessions focus on listening, helping clients identify small steps to manage stress, and building resilience over time. Clients are invited to set the pace and direction, with the counsellor offering steady, practical support while they work through what matters most to them.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and following their pace. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps clarify feelings and supports people to decide what matters most. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief and questions about life purpose by making space to process those concerns.

Working in a humanistic way online means sessions still centre on the person's voice and choices. Katharine will work collaboratively to find which ways of working suit the individual's goals and preferences. That can include trying different approaches over a few sessions to see what feels most helpful.

Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people join from other parts of the UK or abroad, while the counsellor and client agree together on the practical arrangements that best support ongoing work.
