Genevieve Walters

Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years of experience. She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and other hard changes in life.

Her work is grounded in narrative ideas and client-centred ways of working. She listens to the stories people tell about themselves and helps them notice patterns and new possibilities. Conversations often use reflective and creative methods alongside straightforward practical steps for acute stress and trauma responses.

Genevieve has worked across many settings, including bereavement services, hospices and schools. She has managed counselling teams after national disasters and during the pandemic. She has also supported government staff, teachers, nurses and firefighters dealing with vicarious trauma and burnout.

Her practice aims to be flexible and rooted in what actually helps each person. She trains counsellors in theory and practice and draws on that teaching experience when working with clients. Sessions can include creative tasks, narrative exercises and practical coping strategies tailored to the situation.

People come to her for help with grief, relationship and family issues, parenting, addiction, trauma and anxiety, as well as career, identity and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those living with mood conditions such as depression or bipolar and those navigating ADHD and other life changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work, focusing on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions; it helps with confidence, anxiety and rebuilding trust in decision-making. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from identity, which can be useful for issues like anger, grief and longstanding patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and adjust the way sessions run as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time, which can make regular meetings easier to keep. Because the biography does not specify session formats, please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity of care and for accessing a counsellor who has experience with trauma, bereavement and frontline stress without needing to travel.
