Altia Walters, BACP

Altia Walters offers calm, practical support for people dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety and low self-esteem. She aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful. Altia meets people where they are and focuses on small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.

Altia has three years of professional counselling experience and works in the United Kingdom. Her background includes senior management roles supporting women and families affected by domestic abuse, and she has worked with issues such as coercive control, substance misuse and relationship breakdown. That experience shapes a practical, problem-focused way of working.

Sessions are collaborative and rooted in everyday language. Altia draws on client-centred principles, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused ideas to help people notice patterns, test small changes and build new coping strategies. She encourages people to use their own strengths when working through difficult emotions.

Therapy covers a wide range of concerns including depression, stress, parenting strains, career difficulties and complex feelings like abandonment, infidelity and jealousy. Altia also supports people coping with bereavement, family conflict and the long-term effects of abuse.

Her style is direct but compassionate, aiming to help people feel more in control of their choices. To begin, she asks a few practical questions so sessions can focus on realistic next steps that fit a person’s life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Altia uses client-centred listening, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques in her work. Client-centred listening means she focuses on your experience and follows your lead, offering empathy and reflection to help you clarify what matters. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and helps you try specific strategies to reduce distress and build routine. Solution-focused therapy emphasises small, practical steps and future goals, so sessions often include setting achievable tasks between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Altia works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress together and adapts the plan when something isn’t working well.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around family, work and travel because they reduce time spent commuting and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins. Online work can also allow sessions when leaving the house is difficult or when a quieter environment is needed. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists like Altia, use these approaches to make therapy practical and manageable for everyday life.
