Altia Walters, BACP

Altia Walters offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship strain, loss, anxiety and life change. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients make sense of their situation and find steps forward. Altia works in English and accepts international clients who want to explore emotional difficulties from a fresh perspective.

Altia trained and practises with a background in senior management supporting survivors of domestic abuse. That work involved helping people deal with financial, physical and emotional harm, coercive control and substance misuse, and it shaped her focus on safety, boundaries and recovery. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential.

In sessions she uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on what a person needs. That means some conversations focus on understanding personal strengths and values, some on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking, and some on identifying small, practical steps that make a difference quickly. Altia aims to match approach to the person rather than use one single method for everyone.

Her main concern areas include grief and loss, depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting and family pressures. She also works with compassion fatigue, career challenges, hoarding and issues linked to adoption or immigration. Altia tries to make sessions straightforward and collaborative, helping people build confidence and move towards clearer choices.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and follow a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Altia’s approaches work in online therapy

Altia uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on listening, reflecting and helping people access their own strengths; this approach suits those who want time to tell their story and be heard without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the conversation to clear, achievable goals and small changes that can be tried between sessions.

Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Altia will discuss what feels most helpful and may combine these approaches to match your goals, preferences and everyday life. The choice of methods is reviewed together as progress is made rather than fixed at the outset.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows short check-ins or focused practical sessions when people need quick support, and longer talks when time is available. Registered and accredited professionals often find remote appointments help clients keep continuity of care while managing other commitments.
