About Genevieve

Genevieve Walters helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and loss by using conversation and creative approaches. She works in an integrative way and prefers Narrative Therapy, where stories and the way people talk about experiences are central. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 18 years of experience.

She trained to Master of Social Sciences level in Counselling Psychology and has practised since 2003. Her work has included managing counselling teams after national disasters and during the pandemic, and leading bereavement and hospice services. She has supported teachers, nurses, firefighters and government employees with vicarious trauma and burnout.

Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centred, Existential and Narrative methods. In sessions she uses reflective conversation and creative techniques to help people notice patterns and shift perspective. She also offers practical steps for acute stress and trauma responses based on her years of experience working with significant loss.

Genevieve has worked across settings including high schools and bereavement services, and she trains new counsellors in theory and practice. She has experience with a broad range of concerns such as addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting matters, ADHD, bipolar and depression.

People who come to her can expect a steady, structured way of looking at problems and options. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking about difficult events, strengthen coping after loss, and support actions that fit each person’s everyday life.

She practices in the United Kingdom and offers work with clients from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.

How Genevieve uses narrative and person-focused approaches online

Genevieve describes her work as integrative, with a preference for Narrative Therapy and roots in Client-Centred and Existential approaches. Narrative Therapy focuses on how people tell the story of their life and helps them notice and reframe unhelpful narratives; it can be useful for grief, trauma and identity concerns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective and supports self-directed exploration of feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Genevieve will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative discussion that can change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify session delivery methods, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel time, fitting in a break from work, or making shorter check-ins more feasible. It can also allow people to use methods such as reflective conversation and creative tasks without needing to rearrange their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals adapt their approach to what works for the person, and sessions can be shaped around the practicalities of daily life.
