About Genevieve
Genevieve Walters is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of practice. She trained to Masters level in counselling psychology and has worked across bereavement, hospice care, schools and emergency response settings. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger and life changes.
Her background includes managing counselling teams after national disasters and during the pandemic. She has supported professionals such as teachers, nurses, firefighters and government staff through vicarious trauma and burnout. She also trains counsellors in counselling theory and practice in higher education.
Genevieve draws on Client-Centred, Existential and Narrative approaches. She uses talking and creative methods to help people reframe difficult experiences. Sessions can include reflective work and practical strategies for acute stress and trauma responses.
Her style is pragmatic and person-focused. She listens for the stories people tell about themselves and looks for small, achievable steps that change how those stories live day to day. She offers practical coping tools alongside reflective conversation.
People come to her with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, addiction, bipolar and ADHD-related challenges, career or work stress, and ongoing family-of-origin problems. She also works with those carrying loss, abandonment or caregiver stress.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions let the counsellor hear what matters to the client and reflect it back, which can help reduce reactive anger and improve communication.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Online conversation and creative tasks are used to reframe those stories so anger is seen as a response rather than a definition of the person.
Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice and responsibility in everyday life. This can assist people facing major changes, grief or feelings of emptiness that often sit under anger. The therapist and client work together to clarify values and practical next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will discuss your goals and try different ways of working until you find what helps. That process is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on things you can use between sessions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or not needing travel time. It can also allow flexibility around quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth needs, or preferring audio rather than video. Confirm the exact session types offered when you book.
