Precious Genus , NCPS

Precious Genus is a counsellor with four years' experience helping people through emotional and life challenges. She works from an integrative stance, adapting methods to each person's needs and circumstances. Her name appears here because she meets people where they are and focuses on practical, empathetic support.

She offers help for stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strains, career concerns and major life changes. ADHD, neurodiversity and menopause-related issues are part of her practice too.

Her training includes a Level 5 professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling practice and registration with the National Counselling Society, shown as NCPS. Earlier qualifications include a Level 4 diploma and a Level 3 certificate in hypnotherapy and counselling skills.

Sessions are shaped by the client's priorities. She uses tools from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking to suit what the person needs. Solution-focused ideas are used when clear short-term goals are wanted.

Precious aims for a calm, respectful tone in the room and works at a pace the client sets. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and patterns so people can gain clarity and practical ways to cope. The emphasis is on finding strengths and small steps that make daily life easier.

Approaches online and how they might help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a respectful space to talk. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace, which can help with low self-esteem, grief or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It involves practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage stress and change unhelpful patterns.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from past experiences and how they show up now. It can support people wanting deeper understanding of long-standing difficulties in relationships or self-image.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Precious works collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's goals and preferences. That way sessions can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep contact across different locations.
