Altia Walters, BACP

Altia Walters is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience, offering compassionate support to people facing relationship strains, trauma, grief and life transitions. Drawing on a background in senior management within domestic abuse services, she has worked closely with women and families navigating the complex aftermath of abuse - including financial, physical and emotional harms, coercive control and substance misuse. That experience informs her therapeutic practice and brings a practical understanding of systemic and safety-related challenges.

Her therapeutic work focuses on anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, domestic abuse recovery, relationship breakdown and workplace difficulties. Altia believes in a collaborative, person-focused approach that recognises each client as the expert in their own story and builds on existing strengths to create meaningful change. She tailors methods to individual needs and may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Family Therapy as appropriate.

Altia holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and accepts clients in the UK as well as international clients. She aims to empower people to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life and to develop confidence in moving forward.

Approaches that guide online care

Altia Walters integrates a small number of clear, evidence-informed approaches to tailor online therapy to each person she sees. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space where clients are supported to explore their feelings and identify their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating relationship or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress to develop practical coping strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and achievable goals, helping clients move forward by identifying small, practical steps toward the future they want.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Altia works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge. She treats the client as the expert in their own experience while offering professional guidance on techniques and next steps.

Online therapy with Altia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access regular support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and to choose the format that best suits practical life demands and therapeutic goals.
