About Genevieve

Genevieve Walters is a counsellor with 18 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She trained to Masters level in Counselling Psychology and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her practice draws on a mix of talking and creative methods to help people make sense of difficult experiences.

She describes counselling as a relationship where the client leads the change they want. Sessions are not a quick fix, but many people find relief in being heard and understood.

Background and approach

Genevieve uses reflective listening and creative tasks to help people find new perspectives. Her background includes managing counselling teams after national disasters and during the pandemic. She has worked in bereavement services, hospices and high schools, and with professionals such as teachers, nurses and firefighters facing vicarious trauma and burnout.

Genevieve has supported people through bereavement, sudden loss, trauma, major life transitions and long-term stress. She offers practical techniques for acute stress and trauma responses alongside longer-term reflective work. Narrative approaches are a strong influence on how she helps people tell and reframe their stories.

Sessions combine a warm, attentive style with flexible tools from client-centred and narrative ways of working. People who want an open conversation, creative options and practical coping strategies often find this approach helpful. She takes an individualised view and adapts her work to each person's needs.

Ways of working Genevieve names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How narrative and client-centred work translates online

Genevieve uses client-centred and narrative approaches that adapt well to online formats. Client-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters to the person, which helps clarify goals and build trust even when meetings are remote. Narrative therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, and online conversation or written exchanges can make it easier to notice and reframe those stories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which blend of talking, creative tasks and practical techniques fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins and text messaging suits ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or irregular schedules while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work itself.
