Precious Genus

Precious Genus is an integrative counsellor who has spent four years supporting people through grief, trauma, stress and major life changes. She works with individuals facing anxiety, relationship and family strains, parenting challenges, and issues linked to neurodiversity. Precious aims to create an approachable space where people can name their struggles and take steady steps forward.

Her background includes 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. She is an NCPS member, which is recorded as NCPS. These qualifications shape a practice that blends several well known methods rather than relying on a single model.

In sessions she combines client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused work, and with reflective psychodynamic ideas when helpful. That mix lets her tailor each conversation to what the person needs in the moment. She pays particular attention to supporting neurodiverse clients, including those with autism and ADHD, and adapts pace and style accordingly.

People who come to Precious can expect calm, respectful dialogue and an emphasis on small, achievable changes. Therapy covers topics such as self-esteem, body image, addiction, caregiving stress, and bereavement. She also supports people navigating ageing and geriatric concerns and relationship separation.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. Clients work together with Precious to set goals, try out new ways of coping, and build understanding of long-standing patterns. Practical problem solving sits alongside space for reflection and emotional processing.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead and supports them to find their own solutions and self-acceptance, which is useful for grief, self-esteem and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and introduces small, practical experiments to change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Psychodynamic ideas bring attention to patterns from the past that repeat in present relationships. This approach is helpful when someone wants to understand recurring difficulties or long-running emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try different ways of working to see what fits best. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

If you prefer online sessions, check the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time when schedules are busy. It also allows therapy with registered or accredited professionals who practise in the United Kingdom while accepting international clients.
