Altia Walters , BACP

Altia Walters is a UK-based therapist who brings three years of professional experience and a background in senior management within domestic abuse services. She has worked directly with women and families facing the complex impacts of abuse - including financial, physical and emotional harm, coercive control, and substance misuse - and draws on that practical experience when supporting clients through difficult transitions and recovery.

Altia’s therapeutic focus includes anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship breakdown, and work-related difficulties, along with a wider range of relationship and family concerns. She also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, parenting and fatherhood challenges, domestic violence, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and compassion fatigue.

She holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and uses a flexible approach that responds to each person’s situation. Her practice commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to individual needs. Altia views clients as experts in their own stories and seeks to build on existing strengths so people can move toward greater confidence and well-being.

Altia aims to create a supportive, empowering environment where practical steps and personal insight work together to help clients embrace change and plan for a more fulfilling future.

Approaches in online therapy and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathetic listening and respect for the individual’s perspective. It supports people working through relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, grief, and life transitions by building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and work-related difficulties by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to challenging situations.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and practical steps toward their goals. It can be especially useful when seeking concrete change in relationships, coping strategies after trauma, or navigating family and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Altia works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Altia includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it possible to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into busy lives.
