About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her background includes supporting people through grief, trauma, stress and major life changes.
She also helps with parenting concerns and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. She practises in a way that centres each person’s story.
Background and approach
She often uses Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of difficult events by re-authoring how they talk about them. She also draws on Client-Centred principles to create a respectful, non-judgemental space in sessions. Genevieve has worked across a wide range of settings, including bereavement services, hospices and schools.
She has led counselling teams responding to national disasters and the pandemic, and supported people such as teachers, nurses and first responders with vicarious trauma and burnout. She also trains counsellors in theory and practice at higher education institutions. In practical terms she uses reflective and creative methods alongside straightforward coping tools.
Those facing acute stress or traumatic reactions can expect clear strategies to manage symptoms, plus room to explore meaning and values. Sessions aim to build perspective, self-trust and steady coping. People looking for support can expect collaborative work that balances listening with practical steps.
Genevieve welcomes those wanting to talk through loss, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, parenting pressures and career or life transitions.

Approaches Genevieve lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Genevieve commonly uses Narrative Therapy, which focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps by separating problems from identity and allowing people to reframe difficult experiences in manageable ways. Client-Centred Therapy is also part of her work, offering a non-judgemental space where the person's own priorities guide the sessions and the counsellor follows their lead.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods feel most helpful. The plan can change over time as new issues or priorities arise.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or hands-free is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for people juggling parenting, work and other commitments while still accessing a consistent therapeutic relationship.
