Genevieve Walters

Genevieve Walters offers a confidential therapeutic relationship designed to support the changes and personal growth the client chooses. She is clear that counselling is not a rapid cure for discomfort, but many people find relief in having someone who understands what they are going through.

As an Integrative Counsellor, Genevieve prefers Narrative Therapy and works from the view that people make sense of themselves through the stories they tell and through creative therapeutic expression. Her practice combines reflective and creative methods with practical strategies to build perspective and trust in oneself.

Genevieve holds a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and brings 18 years of professional experience to her work. Her background includes managing counselling teams responding to national disasters and the pandemic, and leading teams within bereavement services, hospice settings and high schools.

She has supported government employees, teachers, nurses and firefighters facing vicarious trauma and burnout, and has worked with clients of all ages from diverse backgrounds and abilities. Genevieve has supported many people through major life transitions, bereavement, sudden loss and significant trauma, and she also trains counsellors in theory and practice in higher education.

Genevieve can provide a safe and confidential space to explore deep and meaningful issues. She uses reflective and creative approaches alongside practical techniques for acute stress and trauma responses, drawing on her training and clinical experience. She is registered in the United Kingdom with the BACP and practises in line with the BACP Ethical Framework. Genevieve also holds public liability insurance for both face-to-face and remote working.
