Katharine Bax

Katharine Bax is a Humanistic counsellor and a member of the BACP with four years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life transitions. She also supports people who feel stuck and are searching for clarity about what comes next in work or life.

Her way of working is client-centred. Sessions are conversational and focus on the client's experiences and feelings. She listens for what matters to the person and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. This makes it easier to try different ways of responding to stress, shame or loneliness.

Katharine offers both shorter and longer term work and adapts the pace to each individual. She often helps people process bereavement and other losses, and supports those facing big life changes such as career shifts or creative blocks. She also attends to social anxiety and phobias in everyday settings.

She has particular insight into pressures faced by people from creative arts backgrounds and understands how those pressures can affect mood and purpose. Conversations include practical reflection and emotional exploration, so clients can build resilience for current challenges.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Client-centred work and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach she uses. It involves listening without judgement and reflecting back what the client expresses. This helps people feel understood and supports clearer thinking about stress, low self-esteem, grief and life changes.

In practice, that means conversations focus on the client's experience rather than on labels. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, make sense of strong feelings and try out different ways of responding. This can be useful for those dealing with social anxiety, isolation or doubts about life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the way sessions run based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether you try shorter check-ins or more reflective, longer sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or creative schedules, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats may also suit quieter check-ins or shorter conversations when needed.
