Genevieve Walters, BACP

Genevieve Walters is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship struggles, and lists codependency among her focus areas. Her background includes supporting people through major life changes, caring roles and addiction-related concerns.

Genevieve trained to a Master of Social Sciences in Counselling Psychology and has practised since 2003. She has led counselling teams during national disasters and the pandemic and has worked in bereavement services, hospices and schools. That work included supporting teachers, nurses, firefighters and government staff with vicarious trauma and burnout.

Her way of working is practical and conversational. She prefers Narrative Therapy and uses Client-Centred ideas, so sessions often begin by helping people tell their story in a different way. She uses creative and reflective methods alongside straightforward techniques aimed at managing acute stress and trauma responses.

Genevieve says what people tell her about what helps is important. She offers space to look at attachment, abandonment, codependency and communication patterns. She also addresses parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues and pressures linked to career or caring roles.

She trains counsellors in theory and practice and carries public liability insurance for face-to-face and remote work. Her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework, and sessions are conducted in English.
