About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years of experience supporting people through difficult life events. She holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
Her approach centres on listening and helping people tell their story in a way that makes sense to them.
Background and approach
She often uses Narrative Therapy to examine the stories people carry, and Client-Centred principles to keep focus on each person’s priorities. Genevieve combines reflective, creative methods with practical tools for stress and trauma responses. Her background includes managing counselling teams for national disasters and the pandemic, and running bereavement services in hospice and school settings.
She has supported people such as teachers, nurses, firefighters and other public servants facing vicarious trauma and burnout. That experience informs how she responds to intense loss, sudden change and long-term stress. Sessions are described as collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
Genevieve pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes where they appear, and she helps people with relationship, intimacy and communication difficulties. She also works with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD and bipolar disorder. People can expect practical coping strategies alongside deeper reflection.
She offers reflective exercises, creative techniques and straightforward steps to manage acute stress. Her practice follows the BACP Ethical Framework and she carries public liability insurance for in-person and remote work.

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.
Online support
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories you tell about your life. By separating the person from the problem, it becomes possible to rewrite difficult patterns and spot strengths that were overlooked. This is useful for trauma, grief, identity and long-standing problems such as codependency.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that suit your goals and preferences. Decisions about pace and techniques are made together so you can shape what feels most helpful.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing cues matters, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options support regular contact, flexibility around work or caring commitments, and a way to continue therapy when travel is difficult.
