About Kari

Kari Walters is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people who are feeling stuck, anxious, low in self-esteem, or coping with life changes including career shifts, relationship difficulties and depression. She also helps with stress, chronic illness and caregiver strain, and supports those facing isolation or family-origin issues.

Her practice is client-centred. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping clients make sense of what they are feeling. Conversations are paced to the individual so people can reflect without pressure. Practical coping strategies are discussed when they are useful for day-to-day life.

Kari has experience working in charity and private settings, including roles with Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care and a chronic pain charity. That background means she is familiar with bereavement, long-term health conditions and complex emotional responses. She draws on those experiences to offer steady support during change.

In the room she aims to build a trusting relationship so clients can look at difficult topics. She works in plain language and helps people identify small, workable steps. Sessions may include talking, reflecting on patterns, and planning manageable changes.

People often come to Kari when they are unsure what comes next after a life change. She supports exploration of values, daily routines and relationships to help clients find more clarity about what matters to them now.

How her approach adapts for online work

Kari practises client-centred therapy online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client’s lead. It helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and making sense of life changes by concentrating on the person’s own experience and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps ensure sessions focus on what matters now rather than fitting a predefined programme.

Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They also allow people to join from different locations within the UK if that helps with scheduling. Practical arrangements such as whether to use video or phone will be agreed at the start so sessions fit around the client’s routine and circumstances.
