About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years' experience. She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward when life feels overwhelming.
Her practice draws on narrative and client-centred ideas. Genevieve listens to the stories people tell about themselves and looks for new ways to tell those stories. This can help with feeling stuck after loss, trauma, or big life changes.
She has worked across bereavement services, hospices and schools, and has managed counselling teams during national disasters and the pandemic. That background means she is used to supporting people who have faced sudden loss, high stress or repeated exposure to difficult events.
Sessions may include reflective conversation and creative exercises to build perspective and self-trust. She also uses practical techniques to help with acute stress and trauma reactions, drawing on what has helped other people in similar situations.
Genevieve has experience with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment worries, codependency and concerns linked to work and vocation. She works in English and accepts international clients. Select Start Therapy to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of the session; the counsellor follows what matters to you and helps you explore feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need steady listening and support while they make sense of difficult events.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. It helps to spot unhelpful patterns and to develop alternative, more helpful ways of describing what has happened. This can be useful for grief, codependency, identity and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Genevieve will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, combining listening, reflective exercises and practical techniques to match your goals and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the original profile, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. It can reduce travel time, allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps you engage more easily. Many people find these practical benefits make regular sessions easier to sustain while they work on stress, trauma responses and changes in life circumstance.
