Kari Walters, BACP

Kari Walters is a counsellor with five years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people coping with life changes and career concerns, and works with issues such as jealousy. Kari aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace and feel heard.

She trained and practised across both charity and independent settings, including the mental health charity Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care, and Burning Nights CRPS. That background means she has experience with grief, trauma, chronic illness and long-term conditions, and the emotional strain those bring.

Kari describes her work as grounded in building a trusting relationship. Sessions focus on listening first, then helping people make sense of what they are feeling. She uses Client-Centred Therapy approaches to keep the focus on the person's own goals and experience.

In practical terms Kari aims to help people identify small steps they can try between sessions. She supports exploring patterns such as control issues, codependency and family of origin problems, and helps with stresses around caregiving, blended family dynamics, divorce and ageing.

Her registration is with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To start, people are invited to use the continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. It involves listening closely, reflecting what has been said, and following the client's lead to explore feelings and choices. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-worth, relationship worries and jealousy because it makes space for people to make sense of their own reactions.

Kari's practice also draws on her experience supporting people with grief, chronic illness and life transitions. In talk-based online work she focuses on building trust through steady, respectful conversation and practical steps that can be tried between sessions. That can include noticing patterns, experimenting with different responses, and checking what works for the individual.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kari will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day constraints with each person and agree how to shape the work together. She helps adjust pace and methods as needs change so the therapy stays relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit talking therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use a range of approaches to help people work toward clearer thinking and better coping in everyday life.
