Genevieve’s approach and qualifications 

Genevieve works in an integrative way, with a particular emphasis on Narrative and Person Centred therapy.

Narrative therapy focuses on how people make sense of their lives through the stories they hold about themselves, their relationships, and their experiences. These narratives often develop over time and can become fixed, especially following difficult or overwhelming events. In therapy, these stories are explored and re-examined so that patterns, assumptions, and meanings that have been taken as a given can become visible and open to change.

Person Centred therapy places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work. It is based on the understanding that people have the capacity to move towards growth and change when they are in a space that is consistent, non-judgemental, and genuinely engaged. Genevieve offers this kind of environment, allowing clients to explore their experiences at their own pace while developing greater clarity and self-trust.

Her work combines depth and reflection with practical support, particularly when working with trauma and acute stress. Where appropriate, she incorporates creative and reflective methods to help clients access and express experiences that may be difficult to articulate directly.

Her overall approach supports a clearer, more grounded sense of self, alongside the capacity to relate to others with greater awareness and flexibility.

Couples Therapy

Genevieve works with couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, and periods of uncertainty within the relationship.

Her integrative approach is particularly suited to couples work as it allows both partners to explore how their individual histories, expectations, and ways of making sense of the relationship shape the dynamic between them. Narrative work helps bring these underlying patterns into focus, while the relational space supports each partner to feel heard without immediate judgement or correction.

This creates the conditions for both partners to step out of repetitive cycles, understand each other more clearly, and make more considered decisions about how they want to move forward.

Infidelity & Betrayal Trauma

Genevieve supports both individuals and couples affected by infidelity, secrecy, and breaches of trust.

Her approach is well suited to this work, as betrayal often disrupts a person’s sense of reality and the story they held about their relationship. Narrative therapy allows clients to process what has happened and re-examine the meaning they attach to the experience, while the person-centred element provides a stable and non-judgemental space to work through intense emotional responses.

In couples work, this supports both partners in understanding the impact of the betrayal and deciding how they want to move forward. In individual work, it helps restore a sense of stability, clarity, and self-trust.

Narcissistic Abuse

Genevieve works with clients who have experienced narcissistic abuse and controlling or emotionally harmful relationship dynamics.

This work often involves significant confusion, self-doubt, and a loss of trust in one’s own perceptions. Her approach supports clients in separating their own sense of self from the narratives imposed within the relationship.

Through Narrative therapy, clients can begin to identify and question these internalised patterns, while the Person Centred framework provides a consistent and non-judgemental environment in which clients can rebuild trust in their own thoughts and experiences.

The focus is on restoring clarity, strengthening a sense of self, and developing the capacity to relate differently going forward.
