About Kari
Kari’s style is warm and steady. She aims to build a trusting relationship where clients can talk at their own pace. Sessions focus on understanding what feels hard now and finding practical ways to cope. The emphasis is on listening, reflecting, and helping people spot small changes that make day-to-day life easier.
Her background includes roles with mental health and bereavement charities such as Mind and Cruse Bereavement Care, and support work with Burning Nights CRPS. Those roles shaped her awareness of grief, chronic illness and long-term distress. She draws on that experience when helping people manage ongoing health and caring responsibilities.
Kari uses Client-Centred Therapy as her main approach. That means she follows the client’s lead, pays attention to what feels important to them, and offers an accepting environment. This approach can be useful for issues like self-worth, isolation, and navigating difficult life transitions.
If you are concerned about intellectual disability or caring for someone with a disability, Kari lists intellectual disability among her focus areas. She also notes additional focus areas such as caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and ageing and geriatric issues. For session arrangements, please confirm current options before booking.

Step 3
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows what matters to the client, reflects what they say, and offers acceptance. This helps when people want to talk through low self-worth, isolation, relationship worries or adjusting to long-term health issues.Kari’s background with charities and supporting people with chronic illness means she is used to pacing work to suit each person. That same collaborative, paced approach carries over to remote or flexible sessions. The therapist and client look together at what feels helpful and adjust the way they meet to suit the client’s goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to join from different locations, keep brief check-ins when needed, or use shorter sessions around work or caregiving duties. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, please confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide which meeting style will best support your needs.
