About Katharine
Katharine Bax works on stress, anxiety, grief, low self esteem, depression and coping with life changes using a client-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience working with adults.
Katharine works with adults in both short-term and longer-term counselling. She offers time to talk things through at a steady pace and helps people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on the client's experience and on what matters most to them right now.
She often supports people facing bereavement, life transitions and the strain that comes with persistent worry and low mood. She also works with people who feel isolated or who struggle with guilt, shame or social anxiety and phobia. Katharine has a particular interest in people from creative arts backgrounds and understands pressures common in that sector.
In sessions she encourages people to reflect and to find ways to cope that suit their life. Conversations are led by the client’s concerns and the counsellor listens to understand what the client wants to change. Practical steps and clearer perspective can follow as trust develops.
Her aim is to help people build emotional resilience so they can meet future challenges with more confidence.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and helps the person make sense of feelings and choices. This method is often used for issues such as low self esteem, grief, anxiety and life transitions.
In practice this means online sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about. The counsellor reflects back what she hears and supports the client to identify steps they want to take. That collaborative working helps agree aims and shape the way sessions proceed over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt how sessions run based on that conversation. The process is collaborative and aims to find a good fit between method and need.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or travel, reduce time spent getting to sessions, and allow a shorter check-in when circumstances demand it. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to help people keep consistency with their counselling while managing everyday commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
