About Katharine
Katharine Bax is a Humanistic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of practice to sessions and aims to create a warm, honest space for people to talk about what matters most to them. Her style is grounded in empathy and authenticity.
Katharine listens without judgement and offers steady support while people work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and grief.
Background and approach
She helps clients notice their strengths and build emotional resilience in day-to-day life. Sessions move at each person's pace. Katharine supports both shorter-term and longer-term work, depending on what someone wants to focus on.
She also offers time for people who want clarity, reflection or emotional support without a formal diagnosis. She has a particular interest in people from creative arts backgrounds and the pressures that can come with that work. That interest shapes how she responds to issues like isolation, shame or questions about life purpose.
Conversations with Katharine are practical and person-centred. She aims to help people identify small, manageable steps forward and to make sense of difficult feelings so they can face changes with more confidence.

How Katharine works online
Her practice emphasises authenticity and collaboration. The therapist works together with each person to understand their goals and preferences, and to decide how to shape the work. Finding the right approach is part of what they will do together rather than something predetermined.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit work or family commitments, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular contact. Online work also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and it can make accessing a therapist easier if you live outside the therapist's immediate area. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use client-centred methods, can adapt their style to suit remote sessions and to help people make steady progress toward their goals.
