About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes and related concerns. She also helps people facing career problems, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains and challenges linked to ADHD, bipolar and depression.
Her approach is mainly integrative, drawing on Narrative Therapy alongside client-centred and existential ideas. Genevieve says people make sense of themselves through the stories they tell, so talking and creative methods are often part of sessions. She pairs reflective conversation with practical tools for acute stress and trauma reactions.
Her background includes managing counselling teams during national disasters and the pandemic, and work in bereavement services, hospices and schools. She has supported government staff, teachers, nurses and firefighters with vicarious trauma and burnout. She also trains counsellors in theory and practice in higher education.
Sessions involve reflective and creative techniques aimed at building perspective and self-trust. She uses practical methods when people need immediate relief from stress or trauma symptoms. The overall focus is on clear, direct work that helps people manage significant life changes and loss.
Genevieve is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She holds public liability insurance for both face-to-face and remote working. International clients can be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Genevieve uses Client-Centred and Narrative Therapy ideas in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and supporting the person to find their own answers; it helps when someone feels stuck or unheard. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and separates the problem from the person; this can be useful for identity issues, shame or recurring patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust if something does not fit.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel on a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can use varied methods online, including creative exercises and practical tools for acute stress, while keeping the focus on what helps you manage day-to-day life and major changes.
