Precious Genus
Compassionate counsellor offering personalised support
About Precious
Precious Genus is a counsellor with four years' experience helping people through difficult life moments. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and issues around self‑esteem, career and identity. Precious also supports people exploring sexual identity and LGBT concerns, parenting strains, ADHD and other neurodiverse experiences.
She trained through progressive counselling qualifications and holds NCPS. That combination informs a flexible, person-focused style.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a single fixed method. In practice she uses a mix of client-centred listening and practical strategies. Clients can expect time to talk things through and then to try clearer ways of coping.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that keep repeating today. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. She aims for a non-judgemental tone and encourages people to set goals that matter to them.
Therapy can include short-term problem solving or longer work to understand deeper themes. Precious has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma, bereavement, relationship breakdown, addiction-related issues, body image and eating difficulties. She describes therapy as a place to build insight, emotional awareness and practical coping skills.
The focus is on helping people live a life that feels more manageable and true to themselves.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say so you feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and manage mood. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and problem behaviours.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the approach as you go. This is a collaborative process where your preferences guide which techniques are used and how quickly to move forward.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and have deeper conversations, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging is useful for shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and what helps you most.
