About Kathryn

Kathryn Evans is a BACP-registered humanistic person-centred counsellor with six years' experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strains. Sessions are presented as a place to talk things through and find clearer ways forward.

Before training as a counsellor, Kathryn spent over a decade in roles offering emotional and wellbeing support. That background includes paid and volunteer work in community mental health and wellbeing agencies. She draws on those practical years when she listens and responds to what clients bring.

Her approach is person-centred, which means she focuses on the person in front of her and their experience. She also draws on ideas from other therapies as needed, based on ongoing professional development. Kathryn aims to build a steady working relationship that forms the basis for the counselling work.

In sessions she helps people explore problems, process stressful events, and clarify what matters to them next. That can include discussing grief, long-term health challenges, identity questions, or difficulties with communication and attachment. The emphasis is on conversation, understanding, and making choices that feel right to the individual.

Kathryn supports adults seeking help with parenting pressures, family conflict, coping with life changes, or longer-term struggles such as depression and anxiety. To start, she asks prospective clients to use the site matching process to schedule an initial session and explain their needs.

How sessions work

How Kathryn’s client-centred work translates to online sessions

Person-centred or client-centred therapy emphasises the person’s perspective. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and supports clients to find their own solutions. It is useful for issues like anxiety, grief, relationship confusion and parenting stress because it focuses on the individual's feelings and choices.

Kathryn also draws on influences from other therapies when helpful. Those additional ideas are used to support problem-solving, build clearer communication strategies, or address long-standing patterns such as attachment difficulties. Deciding which combination to use is a collaborative process between client and counsellor.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adjust the way she works accordingly. That discussion helps shape how sessions feel and what is prioritised in each meeting.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the agreed format with the counsellor.
