Katharine Bax
Empathic humanistic counsellor for life changes
About Katharine
Katharine Bax is a humanistic counsellor who uses empathy and authenticity at the heart of her work. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on four years of clinical experience to support people through difficult times. Katharine aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can cope better with day-to-day pressures.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions give people space to talk at their own pace and to make sense of difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to each person so they can find their own next steps. Katharine helps with stress, anxiety and depression, including social anxiety and phobias. She also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem and the strain of life changes.
Additional areas of focus include guilt and shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose. People who come from creative arts backgrounds may find her understanding of the pressures in that world helpful. She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone wants to try.
Sessions aim to build emotional resilience and practical coping strategies. Conversations often look at what causes ongoing stress and how to change small patterns that make things harder. The goal is clearer thinking and more confident steps forward.

How client-centred therapy translates online
Katharine primarily practices client-centred therapy. This approach focuses on listening closely, offering empathy and reflecting back what a person says. It helps with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions by giving people a steady space to make sense of their feelings and choices.The process of finding the right approach happens together. Katharine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they’ll decide whether to continue with a client-centred style or adapt the way sessions are run to better meet changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and each has practical benefits. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation and show facial expression. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit around a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or a written space to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy going despite travel, work schedules or differing daily routines, while aiming to keep the therapeutic focus on the person’s priorities and progress.
