Katharine Bax, BACP

Katharine Bax is a humanistic counsellor who emphasises empathy and authenticity in her work. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of experience. Her style aims to help people build emotional resilience so they can face challenges more confidently.

Her practice supports adults during both short and longer-term therapy. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Katharine also helps people who want clearer thinking, emotional support or time to reflect during life changes.

She pays particular attention to issues around self-esteem, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose, are also areas she addresses. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Katharine has a specific interest in people from creative arts backgrounds and understands the pressures that can come with creative work. That experience informs how she supports clients who face industry-specific stress or emotional strain.

Her approach is client-centred, meaning the person in front of her shapes the work. Sessions are practical and grounded, with an emphasis on listening, understanding and helping people find their own next steps.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist aims to provide understanding, acceptance and honest reflection so people can make sense of difficult feelings and decide on next steps. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low mood, grief and challenges around self-worth.

The choice of therapeutic approach is part of the work. Katharine will discuss what feels right for each person and adapt the way she works to match their goals and preferences. Decisions about pace, focus and practical steps are made together rather than imposed.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the original biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer speaking from a quieter place or who need to avoid being on camera some weeks. Registered or accredited professionals, including those who use client-centred methods, can help you weigh the practical benefits and choose an arrangement that fits your routine.
