Katharine Bax, BACP

Katharine Bax is a humanistic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), who works from a foundation of empathy, authenticity and a belief in each person’s capacity to grow. She invites clients to explore their experiences together so they can build greater emotional resilience and face future challenges with more confidence.

Working with adults in both short- and long-term therapy, she supports people at their own pace through times of change, tailoring the process to each individual’s needs. Katharine offers help with common concerns such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem and life transitions, while also providing a reflective space for those without a specific diagnosis who are seeking clarity or emotional support.

She has a particular interest in supporting people from creative arts backgrounds and understands the distinct pressures that can arise in those fields. Her approach prioritises genuine listening and a collaborative atmosphere, aiming to create a supportive setting where clients can explore feelings, uncover options and move toward meaningful change.

Humanistic and Client-Centered Therapy Online

Katharine’s practice draws on humanistic principles and client-centered therapy to support people navigating stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. The humanistic approach emphasises empathy and authenticity, creating a space where clients can explore meaning, values and life direction. This approach is often helpful for those seeking greater clarity, emotional support or a renewed sense of purpose.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. The therapist provides acceptance and reflective feedback, helping clients build self-awareness and confidence. This method can be especially useful for issues such as low self-esteem, social anxiety and coping with transitions, where a steady, non-directive presence supports growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Katharine will work with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the style as therapy progresses. Registered professionals and therapists trained in these approaches can deliver effective support through online formats.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone let clients connect from different locations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, accessible ways to communicate between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or creative commitments and to maintain continuity of care during life changes.
