About Precious

Precious Genus is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, and ADHD-related concerns. She works with matters such as self-esteem, career uncertainty, coping with life changes, and LGBT issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapeutic models and practical techniques. That means she can combine structured, thought-focused work with open-ended conversation to match the person in front of her. Therapy tends to focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying alternative ways of coping day to day.

Precious pays attention to how past experiences affect current relationships and emotions. That can involve looking at patterns that repeat, understanding reactions to loss or abuse, and building small, manageable strategies to reduce stress. She also offers support around body image, eating concerns, substance issues, and caregiving stress.

Her background includes 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. She is a registered accredited member of the National Counselling Society, shown as NCPS.

Sessions are collaborative and paced by the client. Practical goals and brief experiments are often used alongside deeper exploration of history and relationships. People who want structured techniques combined with space to talk may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Precious draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. CBT sessions usually involve setting clear goals, trying short exercises between meetings, and tracking small changes to mood and behaviour.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on open conversation and a non-directive stance so the person leads the topics. This approach helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings or to decide what they want to work on next.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. She will discuss the goals, practical needs and personal preferences, and then agree a plan that mixes structured techniques with exploratory conversation where helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods over time.
