Kari Walters, BACP

Kari Walters is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. Kari also focuses on care-related strain, blended family issues, chronic illness and codependency concerns.

She draws on a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. Sessions are conversational and paced to how the person prefers. Kari listens to what matters and helps people name patterns that leave them putting others first or feeling drained by relationships.

In practice she talks through practical steps for clearer boundaries and calmer responses. She also helps people tackle long-standing family of origin issues, separation and grief, and the emotional impact of chronic pain or disability. Work can include spotting control or dependent patterns and finding different ways to relate to others.

Kari's background includes roles with Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care and Burning Nights CRPS. That work informs how she supports people through loss, long-term health conditions and caregiving stress. She uses straightforward language and keeps sessions focused on immediate concerns and next steps.

People are invited to bring whatever feels most pressing that week. Sessions tend to centre on making sense of experiences, practising small changes, and building steadier responses to relationship pressures and life transitions.
