Precious Genus, NCPS

Precious Genus is an integrative counsellor with four years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, neurodiversity-related issues, and life transitions such as career change and aging. Her practice also addresses topics including self-esteem, ADHD, intimacy and kink, addiction, eating-related concerns, and caregiver stress.

Her therapeutic style draws on multiple evidence-informed models so that interventions can be tailored to each client’s needs and preferences. She has substantial professional and personal experience with neurodiverse presentations, including autism and ADHD, and emphasises a strengths-based, individualised approach that honours each person’s unique experience. Precious is mindful of how trauma can continue to affect many areas of life, and she approaches therapeutic work with sensitivity and a holistic perspective.

Precious adopts a non-directive, collaborative way of working so that clients can move at a pace that feels right for them while exploring thoughts, feelings and patterns. Through reflection and increased emotional awareness, clients often gain insight, greater self-acceptance and practical coping skills. She believes people should be able to live their lives without feeling obliged to meet others’ expectations and that everyone deserves to feel enough as they are. Precious holds a Level 3 certificate in hypnotherapy and counselling skills, a Level 4 diploma in counselling skills and theory, a Level 5 professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling practice, and NCPS accreditation, indicating registered membership of the National Counselling Society.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Precious commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive space where the client’s own goals and perspectives guide the work - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and improving relationships. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and it is often effective for anxiety, stress, low mood, and practical coping strategies.

She views the choice of approach as a collaborative process. Precious works with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and person-centred.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier for clients to access support from different locations and to choose formats that suit their communication style. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, continuity of care for international or mobile clients, and the ability to try different session types to find what works best for the individual.
