About Altia
Altia Walters welcomes people who are ready to make a change in a difficult part of their life. She writes plainly and listens carefully, helping people untangle anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship breakdown. Altia draws on three years of professional experience and aims to make early conversations straightforward and practical.
Her background includes senior management work in services for domestic abuse. That work involved supporting women and families through financial, physical and emotional harm, coercive control and related substance misuse challenges.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped how she approaches safety, trust and practical problem solving in sessions. Altia uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person’s needs. She commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people cope with stress, rebuild self-esteem and manage day-to-day difficulties.
Sessions focus on clear goals and realistic steps people can take between meetings. She also supports people dealing with parenting and family pressures, career worries, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Altia pays attention to how past hurts, including trauma and abuse, affect current relationships and sense of self, and helps people identify small changes that reduce distress.
People who work with Altia can expect a respectful, non-judgemental approach. She aims to empower clients to use their own strengths and to make steady progress towards a more manageable, hopeful daily life.

Practical approaches and online therapy options
Altia commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore their own solutions; it helps when someone needs acceptance and space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also applies Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what is already working. That approach suits people who want quick, concrete steps to improve daily functioning and relationships. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's goals and preferences.
Online therapy with Altia is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations; phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and when someone prefers typed communication. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family life and different time zones, while therapists help adapt techniques to the online setting.
