About Precious

Precious Genus is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, LGBT issues, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career questions, depression, life changes and ADHD.

She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are conversational and aim to make sense of what feels hard right now. Clients can expect time to talk about problems and to try practical steps that fit their everyday life.

Her background includes training across counselling levels, culminating in a Level 5 professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling practice. She is a registered accredited member of the National Counselling Society, abbreviated here as NCPS. That training underpins her use of several therapeutic approaches rather than a single method.

In practice she draws on Client-Centred ideas to listen and respond to what the person brings. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to address patterns of thinking and behaviour. She also brings psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they fit the issue.

People in blended households are listed among her focus areas, so she can help with stepfamily concerns such as loyalty conflicts, merging routines, co-parenting friction, and the stress of changing roles. She encourages a steady pace and practical steps, and she works with each person’s goals and limits.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The subscription-based fee structure varies by location and can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients follow the online matching steps and schedule an initial meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Precious commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s experience, helping them clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change those patterns.

She also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when helpful, using them to understand lasting patterns or to set short-term goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review what is working and adjust methods to match the client’s needs and aims.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. When format choices are available, the therapist will discuss which option suits the client’s schedule, sensitivity to being on camera, and the type of work they want to do.
