About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, depression, bipolar, ADHD and related issues. She also supports clients dealing with caregiver stress, bereavement, family of origin problems and first responder or frontline worker challenges.
Genevieve trained to a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and has practised since 2003. Her background includes managing counselling teams for bereavement services, hospices and high schools, and responding to national disasters and the pandemic. She has worked with government employees, teachers, nurses and firefighters around vicarious trauma and burnout.
Her approach draws on client-centred, narrative and existential ideas. She listens for how people describe their lives and the stories that shape them. That talk becomes the material they can change together, with reflective and sometimes creative methods.
Sessions often include practical tools for acute stress and trauma responses alongside reflective work. She also brings experience training other counsellors in theory and practice within higher education. The emphasis is on steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes.
People who come for help usually want to make sense of difficult events, manage overwhelming feelings, or find clearer ways to cope at home and at work. Genevieve aims to support perspective, resilience and clearer day-to-day choices.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, validating presence while they sort out feelings and next steps.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their families. Rewriting those stories can change how someone understands relationships, parenting roles and personal choices.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as the work unfolds.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical options so therapy can sit alongside work and family commitments.
