I am a qualified humanistic person-centred counsellor and registered member of the BACP. (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists). As an individual I am a naturally warm and empathic person who is easy to speak to and committed to working with complete confidentiality, care, compassion and respect.
I have a great deal of experience in helping and supporting people gained through working and volunteering in community based mental health and wellbeing agencies. Before following my passion and studying to be a counsellor I gained a great deal of experience working for more than 10 years in roles where I provided emotional, mental health and wellbeing support to individuals who struggled with life challenges and complexities.
My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, bereavement, gender identity, chronic health issues, suicide and self-harm.
My theoretical approach is person centred blended with drawing on influences from other therapies informed through my continued commitment to personal development and training.
My aim as a counsellor is to build a professional therapeutic relationship with you which will form the basis for our work together. It is in that trusting relationship that l will support you to explore and process your problems, experiences, stresses and concerns in the safety of our counselling sessions.
I understand how valuable it can be to have a safe space to share life’s challenges, to feel heard and listened to without feeling judged or pressured.
I feel fortunate to be a counsellor working hard to support you to be able to find solutions, acceptance, closure and gain a clearer understanding of who you really are and what you really want in life. It is through this journey that the sessions can be of most benefit to you enabling you to move on from therapy drawing on the experience to shape your own unique journey ahead.
If you have any queries or questions or wish to start counselling, I'm here to support you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathryn Evans. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I greatly appreciate my sessions with Kathryn. She listens carefully and helps focus on me. I also appreciate how she keeps me focused on what I do for and about myself and not focusing on people around me and distracting the conversations talking about others. I strongly recommend Kathryn.

Wonderful experience! So professional and compassionate!
Written on Jul 24, 2024 after therapy with Kathryn for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety
I was terrified of being judged and was not very open to the idea of sharing my struggles to a stranger. But I realised that meeting a good therapist meant my thoughts are better articulated and deeper questions are answered. This was life changing

Katrhyn is an excellent therapist and I am really happy with her expertise
Written on Feb 29, 2024 after therapy with Kathryn for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, coping with life changes, and coaching
Kathryn is very pleasant to talk to. She listens and gives thoughtful responses, helping to analyze what I'm feeling and what I should think about and work on to change the things I want to change. She perceives what it is I'm actually focussed on and so far (after 3 sessions) I find talking to her helpful.

Kathryn is very kind and easy to talk to. She can be a little busy or forgetful with sending forms and useful links promised, but she is amazing at what she does.
