Precious Genus, NCPS

Precious Genus is an integrative counsellor with four years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She works with clients facing trauma and abuse, bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting concerns, and life transitions including menopause and career change. Her practice places particular emphasis on neurodiversity-informed care, drawing on extensive experience with autism, ADHD, and other neurological differences to offer individualised, strengths-based support.

Precious adapts her work using an integrative framework, combining evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs, preferences, and circumstances. She recognises that the effects of trauma can be long lasting and often touch many parts of life, so her approach is holistic and attentive to the whole person. Her style is collaborative and non-directive, allowing clients to set the pace while exploring thoughts, feelings, and behavioural patterns.

Therapy with Precious aims to increase insight, emotional awareness, and self-acceptance, helping people build resilience and clearer understanding of their patterns. She believes everyone should be able to live without constantly meeting other people’s expectations and to know they are enough. Qualifications include 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 registration as an accredited member of the national counselling society.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Precious commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-directive space where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work - it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practical strategies to change behaviours and emotional responses - it can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Precious works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. She tailors methods to clients’ needs, goals, and preferences, adapting pace and focus as the relationship develops.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and location. Registered professionals can use these modes to maintain continuity of care, offer timely check-ins, and provide accessible options for people who prefer remote sessions or who live some distance from in-person services.
