Precious Genus, NCPS

Precious Genus is a counsellor with four years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She holds NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

She tailors sessions to the person in front of her. Conversations focus on what matters now - coping with change, managing low mood, ADHD-related concerns, or the aftermath of abuse. The tone is calm and respectful, with space to set the pace and priorities together.

Her background combines a Level 3 certificate in hypnotherapy and counselling skills, a Level 4 diploma in counselling skills and theory, and a Level 5 professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling practice. The NCPS credential reflects her registration with the National Counselling Society.

In practice she draws on a mix of approaches so work can be practical or exploratory depending on need. That might mean setting short-term goals, trying new thinking strategies, or looking at early life patterns that affect current relationships. Sessions are focused on clear steps and on understanding what keeps problems going.

People come for a variety of issues including trauma and abuse, family and parenting strains, body image or eating concerns, addiction, and identity matters such as LGBT-related stress. She also supports those dealing with ageing concerns, blended family issues, or caregiver strain.

Therapy with Precious is collaborative. She helps people find manageable changes, build confidence, and make decisions that fit their life and values.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathy and listens closely so people can speak about what matters most and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaboration. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then suggest ways of working. That might mean trying short goal-led exercises for a few sessions or spending time understanding patterns that repeat over years. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy makes those choices easier to fit into daily life. Video calls let people read facial cues and keep a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, flexible weekly contact or when written reflection helps. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to attend sessions around work, family and travel commitments.
