About Kari

Kari Walters is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem issues, career questions and major life changes. Kari works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. She is registered with the BACP, and brings five years of practice experience to her sessions.

Kari’s background includes work with mental health and bereavement charities such as Mind and Cruse Bereavement Care, and with Burning Nights CRPS. That experience means she has sat with people facing grief, chronic illness, persistent pain and low self-worth. She draws on those encounters to shape how she meets new clients.

In the room she offers a warm, non-judgemental space to talk at a pace that feels right. Conversations focus on thoughts and everyday habits that affect how people feel. Practical ideas and small changes are discussed alongside broader reflection about values and relationships.

Kari uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s own goals at the centre. This means listening first, then helping people notice patterns and pick manageable steps forward. She aims to be steady and compassionate while people work through difficult moments.

If you are considering counselling, she asks you to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling follows from the matching process and the therapist’s availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, accepting relationship where the person leads the pace and topics. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and helps the person clarify goals. This approach can be useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship strain because it centres the person’s own experience and choices.

Kari’s practice emphasises listening first and then working collaboratively to notice thoughts and everyday habits that matter. Finding the right way of working is part of the journey. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods and steps feel most helpful for their goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week, saving travel time and making it simpler to keep continuity when circumstances change. Because the original biography does not specify session formats, please confirm current session options before booking. The focus is on helping people make therapy work around their life rather than requiring major rearrangement.
