About Precious

Precious Genus is a counsellor and a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) with four years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, LGBT issues, parenting, self-esteem, career worries, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

She trained through progressive counselling qualifications, including 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 first paragraph sets out what she most often covers in sessions.

Her approach is integrative. That means she draws on different methods to suit each person. She uses client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused elements when they match a client's needs and goals.

She has experience supporting people who identify as neurodiverse, including those with autism and ADHD. Precious aims to adapt how she works so it fits the individual's preferences and strengths rather than following one fixed method.

Sessions are described as collaborative and paced to the client. She invites people to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns and to develop practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges. The overall aim is more understanding of what has been happening and clearer choices about next steps.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing and follows what the client brings, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping strategies, which many people find useful for anxiety and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Precious will discuss options with the client and try ways of working that match their goals, needs and preferences. That means deciding together whether more reflective work, practical tasks, or a mix of both is best.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain steady progress.
