About Katharine
Katharine Bax is a Humanistic counsellor who works from empathy and authenticity. She introduces herself clearly and simply, and aims to help people find greater emotional resilience. Katharine helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes at a pace that suits them.
She uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's needs in focus. Sessions are conversational and gentle, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
The work can be short term to solve a particular problem or longer term to build steadier coping skills. Katharine has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which signals her link to a recognised professional body. She supports people who are dealing with depression, bereavement and the uncertainty that comes with major change.
She also pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame and isolation. People from creative arts backgrounds may find her understanding of their pressures helpful. Katharine can offer a space for reflection when someone seeks clarity rather than a diagnosis.
The focus is on understanding the person's experience and helping them find ways to move forward. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. The way she works is intended to be straightforward and personable, with practical conversation that centres the client's own priorities.

Online support
Humanistic practice focuses on empathy and authenticity. The counsellor aims to offer a non-judgemental space where feelings like guilt, shame or isolation can be spoken about and explored. That approach helps people build emotional resilience and cope with life changes.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process, and the counsellor will discuss options with each person. Together they will choose approaches and session formats that match needs, goals and personal preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact and read non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer typed conversations or need support across the week without scheduling a full call.
These online options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and creative schedules while keeping the focus on the client's priorities and pace.
