Genevieve Walters
Experienced counsellor helping people make sense of hardship
About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years of practice who combines compassionate listening with practical support. She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Genevieve draws on a range of approaches to help people make sense of difficult experiences.
She describes counselling as a relationship that helps people work through struggles rather than a quick fix.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She uses reflective and creative methods so clients can notice different ways of telling their stories. Genevieve has worked across bereavement services, hospices and schools, and has led counselling teams in response to national disasters and the pandemic.
That experience includes supporting people affected by vicarious trauma and burnout, such as nurses, teachers and first responders. Her practice often focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and loss, but also covers issues such as relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, career difficulties, mood conditions and ADHD. She also supports people facing serious illness, caregiving pressure, and complex family‑of‑origin patterns.
In sessions she uses Client-Centred, Existential and Narrative ideas to help clients explore values, meaning and the stories they tell about themselves. Practical techniques for acute stress and trauma responses are available when needed. Genevieve aims to help people build self-trust, find perspective and manage life changes in ways that fit their values.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people discover their own solutions. It suits issues where building self-trust and clearer choices are useful. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and the big questions people face; it helps when life changes, loss or uncertainty make someone rethink what matters. Narrative Therapy treats personal stories as changeable - by retelling events in different ways people can find new perspectives and options.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as understanding deepens or needs shift.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video lets people see non-verbal cues while meeting from different places. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and flexible scheduling easier, and can suit people who find writing helps them think things through. Registered and accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to fit it around daily life.
