About Kari

Kari Walters is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, career stress and depression. Kari also supports people dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and feelings of isolation.

Her background includes roles in both charity and private practice settings. She has worked with Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care, and Burning Nights CRPS, supporting people after loss, during illness, and through emotional upheaval. Those roles shaped how she listens and responds in sessions.

Kari’s way of working is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on the person rather than a set of techniques. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps the client make sense of their experience through conversation and exploration.

Sessions are paced to the individual, with time to talk through current concerns, patterns from family of origin, codependency or control issues, and practical coping strategies. She can help with issues spanning divorce and separation, blended family matters, hoarding, dependent personality patterns, jealousy, and emptiness.

People who choose her can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that aim to clarify difficulties and identify small, manageable steps forward. To begin, users follow the site process to match and book a first appointment.

How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what they hear, asks questions to clarify, and follows the client’s lead in each session. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-worth and coping with life changes.

The practical benefit of a conversational, person-focused approach is that it adapts to each client’s pace. The therapist will work with the person to decide whether to use more structured check-ins or open conversation, based on goals and preferences. Finding the best way to work is part of the process and will be decided together.

Session formats are not listed on the profile, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a work break or a quieter hour. Registered or accredited professionals can guide choices about session length and scheduling to fit everyday life.
