About Katharine

Katharine Bax is a Humanistic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on a client-centred way of working and focuses on helping people find clarity and emotional resilience. Conversations are paced to the individual, with an emphasis on being heard and understood.

She has four years of professional experience supporting adults through common difficulties such as stress, anxiety and low mood. Katharine also helps people cope with grief and life changes. Sessions can suit shorter-term goals or longer-term reflection, depending on what someone needs.

Her practice pays attention to feelings of guilt, shame or isolation. She also works with people concerned about their life purpose and those experiencing social anxiety or phobia. Many clients come simply seeking a calm space to think things through.

Katharine has a particular interest in people from creative arts backgrounds and the pressures that can accompany creative work. That experience informs how she listens and responds in sessions. She aims to create a steady, accepting atmosphere that supports exploration and practical steps forward.

Clients can expect a straightforward, empathetic way of talking through problems. Katharine supports people to notice choices and small changes that help day-to-day coping and longer-term adjustment.

Client-centred care and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens closely and reflects what is said. This approach helps people feel understood and supports exploration of thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, low mood, grief and problems with self-esteem.

Humanistic listening emphasises authenticity and empathy. The counsellor aims to respond to each person as an individual and to help them notice choices and next steps that feel right for their life. Working together to find the best approach is part of the process and the therapist will help you decide what suits your needs and goals.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy. If you want to know which session formats she currently offers, please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain steady progress while balancing day-to-day demands.
