Kari Walters , BACP

Kari Walters is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, career worry and depression. She also supports people facing life transitions and a variety of related concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and isolation.

Kari trained and practised in both charity and private settings. Her background includes work with the mental health charity Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care and Burning Nights CRPS. She brings five years of experience to sessions and holds BACP registration, which is listed as a professional credential.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to be straightforward and unhurried. Kari focuses on building a trusting connection so people can speak openly about what matters to them.

Kari uses a client-centred way of working. That means she listens first and follows the person’s pace. She helps people make sense of feelings and choices, rather than directing them toward one specific outcome.

In practice she offers a calm space to talk through grief, chronic pain, family of origin issues and the ripple effects of long-term illness. Practical concerns such as hoarding behaviours, control difficulties, dependence and separation are also part of her experience.

People can expect a supportive listener who will help clarify goals and plan next steps. Kari aims to work with each person’s strengths and preferences so therapy fits their life and needs.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The counsellor creates a supportive space where people can talk through feelings and make sense of life events. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-worth, relationship strain and coping with change.

Kari’s practice emphasises a collaborative process. Together the counsellor and client decide which approaches feel right and set goals that match the person’s needs and preferences. The aim is to try methods that fit day-to-day life and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for more in-depth conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or days when writing feels more manageable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits, and they allow people to choose the format that helps them engage most effectively.
