Her work mixes conversational and creative ways of working. She uses narrative ideas to help people make sense of painful events and to reframe difficult stories.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred ways of listening, so the person sets the pace and direction of sessions. Genevieve's background includes managing counselling teams in response to national disasters and the pandemic. She has worked in bereavement services, hospices and high schools, and has supported staff such as teachers, nurses and firefighters through vicarious trauma and burnout.
This practical experience informs how she responds to acute stress and trauma. People come for help with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and challenges linked to identity including LGBT matters. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and family of origin issues, cancer, caregiver stress and domestic violence.
Genevieve combines reflective conversation with creative exercises. She aims to help people regain perspective and practical coping skills. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Genevieve uses narrative and client-centred approaches online
Genevieve uses client-centred therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means she listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead to set goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through worries and decisions.Narrative therapy is another key approach she uses. It treats problems as separate from the person and works by retelling or reshaping life stories. This can be useful for people coping with trauma, grief, identity questions or repeated patterns that feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Genevieve will discuss options and try ways of working that suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences so decisions are collaborative rather than fixed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer quieter, camera-free or brief telephone conversations at times, discuss those options during booking to see what the therapist can offer.
