About Genevieve Walters
Genevieve Walters offers a therapeutic relationship aimed at supporting the personal change and growth each person chooses to pursue. She frames counselling as a process rather than a quick fix, acknowledging that discomfort may not disappear overnight but that being understood can bring immediate relief and clarity.
She works as an integrative counsellor with a preference for Narrative Therapy, the approach that explores how people make sense of themselves through the stories they tell. Her practice also draws on client-centered and existential approaches, combining reflective conversation with creative methods to help clients reframe experiences and discover new perspectives.
Genevieve holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology, a postgraduate qualification in professional counselling and psychological practice. She has 18 years of direct counselling experience and a broad clinical background. Her experience includes managing counselling teams in response to national disasters and the pandemic, and leading services in bereavement, hospice care and secondary schools. She has supported government employees, teachers, nurses and firefighters with vicarious trauma and burnout, and has worked with clients across the lifespan from diverse backgrounds and abilities.
Her practice includes supporting people through major transitions, sudden loss, trauma and prolonged stress. She also trains counsellors in theory and practice in higher education. Genevieve uses reflective and creative techniques to build trust, perspective and self-understanding, alongside practical approaches for acute stress and trauma responses informed by her training and experience. She is registered in the United Kingdom with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and her professional relationships are guided by the BACP Ethical Framework. She also holds public liability insurance for both face-to-face and remote work.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder whether engaging with a therapist remotely can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for supporting progress and personal insight.One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. This adaptability often makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain regular contact over time.
Therapists offering remote work are licensed professionals who use established therapeutic approaches. If the match with a therapist does not feel right, clients are usually able to request a different therapist to find a better fit. Remote sessions can support continuity of care and accessibility while using techniques that promote reflection, coping and practical change.
