Kari Walters, BACP

Kari Walters is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She also supports people coping with life changes, career uncertainty and low self-esteem. Kari works with additional issues such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, isolation and family of origin problems.

Kari has five years of experience in charity and private practice settings. Her background includes roles with Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care and Burning Nights CRPS. She has supported people through grief, long-term illness and periods of low self-worth.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship so people can talk at their own pace. She listens and reflects to help clients make sense of their feelings and choices.

Kari uses a client-centred approach, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the person in the room. Practical steps and gentle exploration are offered where helpful, but the client leads the direction of work.

People who are uncertain about next steps often find her approach helpful for making decisions and finding better ways to cope. She aims to support people as they adjust to health changes, relationship shifts and life transitions.

Client-centred care for online and remote sessions

Kari works from a client-centred framework that places the person at the heart of the conversation. This approach means the counsellor follows the client's lead, offering empathy and gentle reflection to help people understand their feelings and make choices that fit their life.

That same client-led focus helps when people are coping with long-term illness, chronic pain or major life changes. Sessions aim to create a steady, supportive space where someone can talk through anxiety, grief or low self-worth and take practical steps forward.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Kari will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and together they will decide which approach and pace suit best. The therapist and client work collaboratively to shape the sessions as they go.

Please confirm the currently offered session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find remote sessions helpful for continuity of care and for maintaining regular contact during busy or difficult periods.
