About Katharine
Katharine Bax is a Humanistic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Katharine also supports people through life changes and focuses on guilt and shame, isolation and questions around life purpose.
She offers both short-term and longer-term work, depending on what someone needs. Sessions are a place to talk things through at a personal pace and to make sense of difficult feelings. Katharine describes her approach as client-centred and values an honest, straightforward way of working.
In practice she listens for what matters most to each person and follows their lead rather than imposing a fixed plan. Conversations often include clarifying what feels stuck, looking at patterns that keep problems repeating, and trying out small shifts to daily thinking or behaviour. The aim is to build emotional resilience so people can handle challenges with more choice.
Katharine has a particular interest in people from creative arts backgrounds and understands the pressures that can bring. She also works with those who do not have a formal diagnosis but want clearer thinking or emotional support.
If guilt or shame is part of the problem, she will name it and look at how it shows up in feelings and actions. Sessions focus on practical, real-life ways to make sense of those emotions and to find a steadier way forward.
Client-centred work and online sessions
Katharine works from a client-centred perspective which means she listens closely to what each person brings and follows their pace. This approach focuses on reflecting back what someone is experiencing and helping them find their own answers. It is commonly used for stress, depression, grief and issues around self-worth and shame.She frames conversations around noticing patterns and testing small, practical shifts in thinking or behaviour. That kind of work can help when guilt or shame feels stuck because it looks at how those feelings turn up day to day and what might change them. The plan for therapy is agreed together, so the approach can change as goals and needs become clearer.
If you are considering sessions online, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use video or telephone, and online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. For example, shorter telephone check-ins can suit a tight schedule, while video sessions let you use visual cues in conversation. Katharine will discuss what works best for timing and practical rhythm so sessions fit into everyday life.
