About Katharine
Katharine Bax is a humanistic counsellor who draws on empathy and genuine connection to help people feel understood. She uses a client-centred approach and aims to create a space where someone can talk things through at their own pace. Katharine holds BACP membership, which is shown as BACP in her credentials, and she has four years of practice experience.
Her work focuses on everyday problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports people through grief, life changes and feelings of isolation or shame. Sessions often look at how to build emotional resilience and find clearer ways to manage difficult moments. Katharine offers both short-term and longer-term counselling, depending on what a person needs.
She pays attention to how creative work can affect feelings and is familiar with pressures common in creative arts careers. This makes her comfortable talking about work-related anxieties and balancing emotional demands. In sessions she listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead while gently helping them notice patterns and choices.
Conversations aim to increase clarity and practical coping rather than rely on jargon. People who want a calm, reflective space to work through loss, life purpose questions or social anxiety often find this style helpful. She works with adults and accepts international clients.
Sessions are held in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging according to the person’s needs.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Katharine takes a humanistic approach that values authenticity and the client’s own capacity to grow. She works collaboratively to find the right way forward, discussing what helps most and adjusting the pace to fit the person’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or varied schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
