Kathryn Evans, BACP

Kathryn Evans is a humanistic, person-centred counsellor and a member of the BACP. She brings six years of counselling experience and over a decade of earlier work offering emotional and wellbeing support. Kathryn aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can speak openly and feel heard.

She draws on the person-centred approach to keep the focus on each individual's needs. That means listening closely, reflecting what she hears, and helping people find their own solutions. Kathryn also uses ideas from other therapies she has studied to tailor sessions when needed.

Her background includes volunteering and paid roles in community mental health and wellbeing services. Those roles involved supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, gender identity concerns, and chronic health problems. She has also worked with those affected by self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and with people facing relationship and family difficulties.

In sessions she aims to build a trusting relationship that becomes the basis for practical work. People can expect a calm, compassionate presence and a focus on understanding feelings, behaviours, and coping strategies. Kathryn helps people explore difficult memories, manage stress, and develop clearer goals for change.

She offers a steady, non-judgemental approach for those wanting to gain acceptance, find closure, or move forward with more confidence. If someone has questions about counselling or how to begin, Kathryn invites them to make first contact and start the conversation.

Person-Centred Care and Online Access

Kathryn uses a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of the work. This method involves attentive listening, reflecting back what is heard, and supporting people to find their own answers; it is helpful for issues like low mood, stress, relationship troubles and grief.

She also integrates ideas from other therapeutic influences when needed, using those techniques to help with specific patterns such as anxiety, trauma responses or coping with chronic health issues. Those influences are selected to complement the person-centred base and to meet the client's practical goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adjust the style to suit each person. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and focused on achievable steps.

Online therapy lets people access counselling from different places and at varied times. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers instant back-and-forth, and text messaging suits shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options give flexible ways to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
