About Altia
Altia Walters welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by change, loss or difficult relationships. She writes straightforwardly and listens without judgement. Her approach aims to help people find manageable steps forward when life feels hard.
Altia has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Before moving into counselling she worked in senior management supporting women and families affected by domestic abuse. That work included helping people deal with the practical and emotional consequences of coercive control, substance misuse and financial harm.
Background and approach
In therapy she commonly helps people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship breakdown. She also supports people facing parenting strains, family conflict, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, fatherhood challenges and immigration-related stress.
Altia draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts her approach to each person rather than following a single model. Sessions focus on practical strategies, clearer thinking and small changes that build confidence.
Her working style is collaborative and respectful. She aims to help people notice strengths they already have and use those to move forward. Altia offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by video, phone or text-based formats.

How Altia’s approaches work online
Altia uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, person-led space where people can tell their story and be heard. This approach emphasises listening, empathy and building on a person’s existing strengths to make changes that feel right.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it offers concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used when someone wants to identify clear, short-term goals and practical next steps. It helps people focus on what is already working and build small, achievable changes that lead to progress.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Altia works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and review progress regularly to keep things relevant.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and are good for deeper work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, quick problem-solving or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options help people maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules.
