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 more than a decade of prior roles supporting people with emotional and mental health needs. Kathryn aims to be warm and approachable so clients feel able to speak honestly about difficult issues.

She draws on person-centred practice and blends in ideas from other approaches she has trained in over time. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Kathryn helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to physical illness and caregiving.

Her background includes community mental health and volunteer work, where she supported people facing complex life challenges. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Kathryn also supports people with addictions, bipolar, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and concerns around identity and communication.

She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work. Kathryn aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can explore worries, process painful events and consider steps forward. Her goal is to help people reach clearer understanding, acceptance or practical change according to their needs.

Kathryn lists ageing and geriatric issues among her additional focus areas and is prepared to address concerns related to ageing, caregiver stress and chronic health conditions as part of wider work. If you have questions about starting therapy she asks that you use the platform Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin.

Person-centred practice and online counselling

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what the client says to help them understand their feelings and make their own choices. This approach helps with depression, anxiety, grief and life transitions by fostering acceptance and self-awareness.

Kathryn also draws on ideas from other therapeutic approaches she has studied. These influences are used flexibly to suit each person’s needs and to address issues such as trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness and ageing-related concerns. The emphasis is on what the client finds helpful rather than fitting them to a single method.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will work with you to identify goals, try different ways of working and adjust the focus as you learn more about what helps. That collaboration aims to match technique, pace and tone to your preferences and current situation.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are available before you book. The therapist’s biography does not list specific formats, so confirming options will help you plan practical details. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around work, reducing travel time, arranging shorter check-ins, or choosing quieter times of day to talk. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their style to make remote work effective and manageable for everyday life.
