Altia Walters, BACP

Altia Walters is a UK-registered therapist with three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She previously worked in senior management supporting services for domestic abuse, where she assisted women and families navigating the many practical and emotional impacts of abuse, including financial hardship, physical and emotional harm, coercive control, and substance misuse. That background informs her clinical perspective and empathy when working with clients affected by trauma and relationship difficulties.

Her therapeutic practice addresses anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, domestic abuse, relationship breakdown, and work-related challenges. She adopts a flexible, person-focused stance, selecting methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and family approaches to meet individual needs. Altia emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life and works to identify existing strengths, set achievable goals and build confidence to move forward. She aims to empower people to make meaningful change and offers support for a wide range of concerns including intimacy issues, parenting and family problems, coping with life changes, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Altia accepts international clients and provides online options to fit different schedules and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Altia Walters

Altia draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, non-directive space where the client’s perspectives and priorities guide the work. This approach helps people who need time to explore feelings, understand their values and rebuild confidence after difficult experiences.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood and stress, and to develop practical strategies for change. Solution-Focused Therapy is applied when clients want brief, goal-oriented work that builds on existing strengths and quick, practical steps toward improvement.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Altia will discuss options with each person, tailoring methods to their goals, preferences and the presenting issues, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Altia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow support from different locations including international clients, and help people continue care during transitions or when in-person sessions are not possible.
