About Kari

Kari Walters is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, life changes and career concerns. She also supports those dealing with depression and a range of related issues such as codependency, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and family of origin difficulties. Kari has five years of experience working in charity and private practice settings and holds BACP registration.

Kari’s background includes roles with mental health and support organisations such as Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care, and Burning Nights CRPS. That work exposed her to bereavement, chronic pain and long-term health conditions, and complex emotional responses to loss and illness. She draws on that range of experience when people bring practical worries as well as deep emotional pain.

In sessions she offers a warm, non-judgemental space and focuses on building a trusting relationship. She uses an integrative, client-centred approach that lets people set the pace and shape of the work. Conversations tend to be straightforward and grounded, with an emphasis on making sense of feelings and daily patterns.

Kari aims to walk alongside people rather than direct them. She helps clients notice what keeps problems going and look for small, workable changes. That might mean talking through relationships, managing stress, or developing coping strategies for long-term health conditions.

Practical matters such as scheduling and fees are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the relationship at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the person's priorities so conversations feel paced and respectful. This approach can help with issues like low self-worth, anxiety, relationship worries and coming to terms with life changes.

Her integrative background means she draws on different ideas to suit the person in front of her. That might mean focusing on emotional processing one week and practical coping strategies the next. Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process between counsellor and client, based on needs, goals and personal preference.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions from familiar surroundings. It can also suit people who need shorter check-ins, prefer not to be on camera, or who find it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. If you want to confirm the exact session formats offered, check the therapist's profile or ask before booking so you know what options are available.
