Genevieve Walters , BACP

Genevieve Walters is an experienced integrative counsellor who combines therapeutic listening with practical tools to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and life transitions. With 18 years of professional experience, she draws on Narrative Therapy as a core approach, believing that the stories people tell about their lives shape how they understand themselves and move forward. She also weaves in reflective and creative techniques to help clients build perspective, resilience and a renewed sense of agency.

Her background includes a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology, and she is registered with the BACP - the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. Genevieve has worked across diverse settings, including bereavement services, hospices and high schools, and has managed counselling teams in response to national disasters and the pandemic. She has supported government employees, teachers, nurses and firefighters through vicarious trauma and burnout and has worked with people of many ages and backgrounds facing bereavement, sudden loss, trauma and major life change.

Genevieve offers a flexible, client-focused practice that values collaboration and learning from each person's experience. She provides practical methods for acute stress and trauma alongside longer-term reflective work, and uses creative approaches to help clients restore perspective, strengthen relationships and find ways to cope. She maintains public liability insurance for face-to-face and remote practice and works in line with the BACP ethical framework.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Genevieve Walters

Genevieve works from a client-centered stance that prioritizes the individual's experience and pace, offering a non-directive, empathetic presence that helps people explore their feelings and make decisions that fit their lives. This approach is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns and general life stress.

She also uses Narrative Therapy, which focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. By examining and reshaping these narratives, clients can separate problems from identity and discover new ways of coping with trauma, grief and major transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Genevieve treats that choice as a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and supportive.

Online therapy with Genevieve is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations, maintain continuity during busy periods and choose the mode of communication that best supports progress.
