Kari Walters, BACP

Kari Walters is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, low self-esteem, life changes and depression. She also works with career concerns and a range of related struggles, including caregiver stress and issues connected to ageing and geriatric matters. Kari aims to create a calm space where clients can start to make sense of their feelings and take small steps forward.

Kari trained as an integrative counsellor and holds BACP registration, which she uses as part of her professional identity. She has five years of experience working in both charity and private practice settings. Her background includes roles with the mental health charity Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care, and Burning Nights CRPS, where she supported people with grief, chronic illness and other long-term challenges.

Her day-to-day approach is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on building trust and listening carefully so people feel heard. She encourages clients to set the pace and explore practical ways to cope, from sorting priorities to improving how they relate to others.

Kari commonly helps people who feel isolated, overwhelmed by caregiving, unsure about relationships, or struggling with chronic pain or health issues. She also addresses family of origin questions, hoarding, codependency and feelings of emptiness.

People who choose to work with Kari typically look for thoughtful, steady support while they make changes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Client-Centred Work Translates Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person explore feelings and choices. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns by building a trusting, respectful conversation.

Kari's integrative background means she draws on client-centred principles alongside other helpful ways of working when needed. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adapt the style as the work progresses.

If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when low bandwidth or no camera is preferred, while video lets people read facial cues and work more closely in conversation. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often help clients decide which option will suit their needs and routines.
