About Kathryn

Kathryn Evans is a humanistic person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings six years of counselling experience and over a decade of earlier work supporting people with mental health and wellbeing needs. Kathryn is warm and easy to talk to and aims to offer care with compassion and respect.

She has worked in community mental health and wellbeing agencies and has supported people through anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement and gender identity questions. Her background also includes helping people facing chronic health issues, suicidal thoughts and self-harm. This practical experience informs how she listens and responds in sessions.

Kathryn follows a person-centred approach while drawing on ideas from other therapies she has learned over time. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship so people can talk through stresses and difficult experiences. She supports people to reflect on feelings and choices rather than giving scripted solutions.

The aim in her work is to help people find clearer understanding, acceptance or closure where that is needed. Kathryn encourages clients to use what they learn in therapy to shape the next stage of their life. Her manner is patient and approachable, with an emphasis on being heard without judgement.

How Kathryn’s person-centred approach works online

Kathryn practises a person-centred approach that focuses on the person’s own view of their life. In practice this means the counsellor gives space to listen, reflects what she hears, and supports clients to explore feelings and choices. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns.

She also uses ideas drawn from other therapies to adapt to each person’s needs. Those influences are used to clarify thinking, spot patterns and try different ways of coping where helpful. Deciding which combination to use is a collaborative process between the counsellor and the client based on goals and preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking as the profile does not state them explicitly. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, and helpful when regular travel would be difficult. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the format offered. Kathryn will work with each person to choose an approach and routine that fits their life and therapeutic goals.
