Altia Walters, BACP

Altia Walters is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience and the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings previous senior management experience in services for domestic abuse, where she supported women and families navigating the many challenges that abuse can create, including financial hardship, physical and emotional harm, coercive control, and substance misuse.

Her therapeutic work has focused on anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, domestic abuse, relationship breakdown and workplace difficulties. Altia draws on a range of approaches to suit each person she works with, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and family-focused work when appropriate. She does not use a one-size-fits-all model but selects methods that match a client’s needs and goals.

Altia believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address current challenges. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that aims to support and empower people to make meaningful change and move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and Practical Care

Altia Walters commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy when working with clients. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore their feelings and values so they can build a clearer sense of self and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress-related difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and small, achievable steps toward change, making it well suited to people who want concrete goals and faster progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Altia works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, preferences and goals, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit around work, family and other commitments.
