About Altia

Altia Walters is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression and the difficult consequences of abuse. She works with those coping with grief, low self-esteem, parenting pressures and big life changes. Altia aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical for each person who reaches out.

Altia has three years of professional experience and practices in the United Kingdom. Her background includes senior management roles supporting women and families affected by domestic abuse, including financial, physical and emotional harms, coercive control and substance misuse. That experience shapes how she understands safety, trust and recovery in everyday life.

She adapts her approach to suit each person. Sessions may draw on client-centred methods, which focus on the person’s own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is sometimes used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy can be useful for setting short-term goals and building small changes that add up.

Altia describes people as the experts in their own stories and works to help them reclaim confidence and move forward. Her practical style aims to support people through decision points such as relationship changes, parenting stresses, career concerns and recovery after loss.

If you are considering work on money or financial issues alongside relationship or abuse recovery, Altia is experienced in the wider context these problems often sit within. For international clients and English speakers, she accepts sessions from the United Kingdom and abroad.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, helping them name what matters and build on their strengths. This approach suits people who want time to make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and everyday stress that affects relationships and work.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and clear steps. It helps people identify what is already working and try small changes that feel achievable. This can be helpful when someone wants focused sessions to move past a specific problem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, needs and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to personal circumstances and what a person hopes to achieve.

The original profile does not list specific online session types, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care when they move or travel, while still working with an experienced counsellor.
