About Genevieve

Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years' experience. She works from a person-focused stance and aims to help people make sense of painful events. Her approach is conversational and practical, with room for creative methods when they help someone express difficult feelings.

She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration means her work follows the BACP Ethical Framework.

Background and approach

Genevieve has worked in bereavement services, hospices and schools, and has supported professionals such as nurses, teachers and firefighters through burnout and vicarious trauma. Her practice uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centred principles. That means she listens for the stories people use to describe themselves, and helps them see other possibilities.

She also draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice when people are facing big life questions or grief. Genevieve uses reflective and creative exercises to help build perspective and self-trust. She offers practical techniques for acute stress and trauma responses informed by long experience working with significant loss.

Sessions combine attentive listening with down-to-earth tools you can use between meetings. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem and family of origin issues. She also supports those coping with cancer, caregiver stress, first responder issues and other sudden or life-changing events.

Her practice is adaptable to different backgrounds and needs.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and the big questions people face when life changes. It can help when someone feels empty, overwhelmed by grief or wants to rethink priorities.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard without judgement and building trust in one’s own decisions. It suits people who need a calm space to clarify feelings and find their own solutions.

Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and their problems. It helps separate the person from the issue and opens up new ways of acting and relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process can change over time as issues evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, caregiving or travel and make it easier to keep momentum between meetings.
