About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years of practice who works from a human-centred perspective. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. Her approach is conversational and plain; she aims to help people feel understood and find ways forward.
Genevieve uses an integrative style that draws heavily on Narrative Therapy. She invites clients to tell their stories and looks at how those stories shape daily living. She also uses Client-Centred and Existential ideas to focus on what matters most to each person and on building a stronger sense of self.
Her background includes roles managing counselling teams in bereavement services, hospices and schools, and coordinating support after national disasters and during the pandemic. She has worked with people in frontline roles such as nurses, teachers and firefighters who have faced vicarious trauma and burnout. This practical experience informs how she responds to acute stress and trauma reactions.
Sessions are conversational and often include creative or reflective methods alongside straightforward strategies for coping. Genevieve listens for what helps and adapts her style to each person. People come to her for support with relationships, parenting concerns, addictions, mood difficulties including depression and bipolar, ADHD and identity matters.
She also trains counsellors in theory and practice in higher education. Her work is guided by the BACP Ethical Framework and she holds public liability insurance for face-to-face and remote working.
How Genevieve uses therapeutic approaches in online care
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without judgement, reflecting what matters, and supporting personal choice and self-direction. This approach helps when someone needs room to make sense of feelings and decisions.Narrative Therapy treats problems as separate from the person and invites people to retell their story. It works well for people who want to shift unhelpful patterns or understand how past events shape present behaviour. Existential Therapy pays attention to meaning, responsibility and life choices, and can help when someone is wrestling with identity, loss or big transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit them. Over a few sessions they check what helps and adjust the approach together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow sessions from different locations. It also means shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid video when that is useful. Registered or accredited professionals, including those listed here, often use a mix of reflective and practical techniques that translate well to remote sessions.
