Kathryn Evans , BACP

Kathryn Evans is a qualified humanistic person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She combines a naturally warm and empathic manner with professional training to offer thoughtful, respectful support to people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Kathryn brings a depth of experience built from more than ten years working in roles that provided emotional and wellbeing support, followed by six years practising as a counsellor. That background has informed her work with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, bereavement, gender identity concerns, chronic health problems, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, among other difficulties.

Her core approach is person-centred therapy, which prioritises listening, empathy and acceptance to help people explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She also blends influences from other therapeutic approaches as appropriate, guided by continuing professional development and training. Kathryn aims to create a professional therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, care, compassion and respect where clients can process stresses and experiences without feeling judged.

Throughout the therapeutic work she supports clients to seek understanding, find closure where needed, and identify practical steps forward. Kathryn encourages people to discover what matters to them and to shape their own path beyond therapy. She is available to answer queries and to discuss how to begin counselling.

Person-Centred Support and Online Therapy Options

Kathryn works primarily from a client-centred, humanistic stance that places the person and their experience at the heart of the therapy. This approach involves active, non-directive listening and empathic understanding, helping people explore thoughts and feelings so they can find their own solutions and gain self-awareness. It is particularly helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and general emotional distress.

Alongside the person-centred foundation, Kathryn adopts an integrative attitude and draws on influences from other therapeutic models when they suit a client's needs. This flexible stance allows her to tailor sessions to the individual and to address complex problems like trauma, anxiety and coping with life changes in ways that feel right for the person.

Finding the best therapeutic fit is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with clients to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, and she adjusts the approach over time so therapy remains relevant and effective. Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and convenience - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy lives and to connect with licensed professionals from different locations.
