Background and approach

Kari works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions aim to build trust and a sense of safety so people can talk about what matters to them. Conversations are paced to suit each person rather than following a strict timetable.

Her main clinical approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which means the client leads the topic and the counsellor follows with empathic listening and gentle reflection. This style tends to suit people who want time to make sense of feelings and to explore options for change.

People often come for help with feelings of emptiness, family difficulties, caring stress, chronic pain and issues around control or dependence. Kari also works with concerns such as hoarding, isolation and problems rooted in family of origin. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with session cost varying by location and therapist availability.

How this approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and following what the person brings to a session. The counsellor aims to reflect feelings and help the client make sense of their experience, which can be helpful for anxiety, low self-worth and coping with life changes.

Kari's background in charity work means she is used to supporting people through grief, long-term illness and stress. Online sessions use the same person-led approach as face-to-face work, allowing time to explore emotions and consider practical next steps together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kari will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the way she works to fit each person's needs. That collaborative choice helps ensure sessions focus on what matters most to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in suits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are flexible for people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and mobility limits.
