About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years of practice. She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Genevieve frames counselling as a collaborative process that helps people make the changes they want, rather than a quick fix. She uses talking and creative methods to help people find relief and fresh perspective when life feels overwhelming.
Her work draws on Narrative Therapy and an integrative approach to adapt to each person’s needs. That means conversations focus on how people describe their experiences, and on shifting those stories so they become more helpful. She also uses reflective and practical techniques to support people facing acute stress and trauma responses.
Genevieve has broad experience across settings including bereavement services, hospices, schools and incident response teams. She has managed counselling teams responding to national disasters and the pandemic, and has supported government employees, teachers, nurses and firefighters with vicarious trauma and burnout. She has worked with people facing major life changes, bereavement, loss and trauma.
Her practice emphasises listening, clear reflection and collaborative planning. She offers creative exercises alongside straightforward coping strategies. People looking for help with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship or work-related strain may find her approach practical and down to earth.
Genevieve works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She follows the BACP Ethical Framework and holds public liability insurance for face-to-face and remote working.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to find their own answers, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection rather than directives. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and life changes by emphasising the client's perspective.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It can help when someone feels empty, stuck with big decisions, or struggling with questions about purpose and commitment.
Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. It is useful for grief, trauma, relationship difficulties and patterns such as codependency by separating the person from the problem and exploring alternative narratives.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Genevieve will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt which methods are used as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process that aims to match methods to need.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time, helping people attend shorter check-ins or more flexible sessions. The biography indicates she offers both face-to-face and remote working, but it is best to confirm which session formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions useful for maintaining continuity during life transitions and for practical scheduling reasons.
