Kathryn Evans , BACP

Kathryn Evans is a qualified humanistic person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), which is a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She is known for a naturally warm and empathic manner and is approachable and easy to speak with, offering care, compassion, and respect in her work.

Her practical experience comes from many years of paid and voluntary roles in community-based mental health and wellbeing services. Before training as a counsellor she spent more than 10 years providing emotional and mental health support to people facing complex life challenges, and since qualifying she has continued to develop professionally through ongoing training.

Kathryn has worked with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, bereavement, gender identity concerns, chronic health conditions, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm. Her theoretical stance is firmly person-centred, while she also draws on influences from other therapeutic approaches as appropriate to each person’s needs.

Her goal is to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship that becomes the foundation for exploring experiences, processing stresses, and identifying what might help someone move forward. Kathryn aims to support people toward greater understanding, acceptance, and clarity about their next steps, and she welcomes enquiries from those interested in beginning counselling.

Person-Centred Approaches and Online Therapy

Kathryn Evans practices a client-centred approach that focuses on creating a respectful and empathetic therapeutic relationship. This method emphasizes active listening, acceptance, and helping individuals explore their feelings and perspectives at their own pace. It is often helpful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, bereavement, and identity concerns.

Alongside strict person-centred work, she draws on influences from other therapeutic traditions to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. This blended approach allows flexibility to address complex problems such as trauma, chronic health challenges, and self-harm by selecting techniques that fit the client’s goals and readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to determine what feels most helpful. She and the person seeking help will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adapt the approach as therapy progresses.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical benefits including scheduling flexibility, easier access for people in different locations, and a range of formats to suit different communication styles. These options make it possible to engage with licensed professionals and therapists in ways that fit everyday life and personal circumstances.
