Kathryn Evans, BACP

Kathryn Evans is a humanistic person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists). She brings six years of counselling experience and over a decade of prior roles offering emotional and wellbeing support. Kathryn aims to make talking easier by being warm, empathic and straightforward to speak with.

She has built practical experience in community mental health and wellbeing services, working with people facing anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, gender identity matters, chronic health issues, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Her background includes work with relationship and family concerns and a range of life challenges.

Her main therapeutic approach is person-centred counselling, with influences drawn from other approaches as needed. In sessions she focuses on listening without judgement and on creating a trusting relationship that allows people to talk openly. Kathryn helps clients explore their thoughts, everyday habits and emotions to understand what matters to them.

Sessions are aimed at helping people process stresses, gain clarity and identify practical steps they want to take. She works collaboratively, supporting people to find acceptance, make changes or reach closure as suits their goals. Kathryn encourages clients to use the counselling experience to shape the next stage of their lives.

If someone has questions or wishes to begin, she asks them to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to availability.

How person-centred work translates to online counselling

Person-centred therapy focuses on a kind, non-judgemental listening style where the counsellor follows the person's lead. The aim is to create a strong working relationship so the client can talk through feelings, everyday habits and decisions. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns by providing space to be heard and understood.

Kathryn also draws on ideas from other approaches when helpful, bringing in different ways to think about problems. That flexible use of influences means she can adapt her responses to suit someone who wants practical steps or deeper reflective work. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she will work with each person to find what fits their needs, goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit around everyday life and reducing travel time. Online work can be helpful when someone needs shorter check-ins, quieter surroundings, or an option that does not require being on camera for every session. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, so readers should check current options when they arrange their first appointment.
