About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years of practice. She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and cope with loss, trauma and major life changes.
She uses an integrative style that emphasises listening and the stories people tell about their lives. Conversation is often paired with creative or reflective exercises to help people notice different perspectives.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Genevieve has supported people in a wide range of settings, including bereavement services, hospices and schools. She has experience working with emergency responders, healthcare staff and teachers around burnout and vicarious trauma.
That background informs practical ways to manage acute stress reactions. Her approach draws on client-centred principles to prioritise the person’s own goals. Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe difficult experiences into more manageable stories.
Existential ideas are brought in to address meaning, loss and the big life questions that often accompany change. People who choose Genevieve can expect calm, focused sessions that combine listening, gentle challenge and practical coping tools. She also trains other counsellors and has led teams responding to national disasters and the pandemic.
Work may include short-term strategies for immediate relief and longer-term exploration of deeper issues.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The aim is to listen with acceptance and to follow the person’s priorities so they can work out what helps them most. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and decisions about life changes.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their experiences. By noticing and reworking those narratives, people often find new ways to act and feel. This method is useful for trauma, identity questions and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as work progresses so it fits the person’s needs.
Online sessions can be held as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face contact and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep contact from different locations.
