About Vanessa
She focuses on stress and anxiety, low mood and self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to addiction and motivation. She also helps people with relationship struggles and with concerns related to abandonment and attachment. Her wider interests include chronic illness, caregiving strain, autism and co-morbidity complications.
Vanessa uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred work. Sessions aim to connect what matters to the person with practical tools for everyday life. Conversations are shaped to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
She holds NCPS and brings six years of experience supporting people through change and recovery. Vanessa says the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while people try new ways of coping. The tone in sessions is respectful and compassionate, and she adjusts the pace to the individual.
Prospective clients are encouraged to check the session and booking options before arranging a meeting. Vanessa accepts international clients and can discuss whether her style and approach fit the issue at hand.

Step 3
How Vanessa's approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on simple, structured techniques to change thought patterns and behaviour, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and sense of safety to improve connections and trust over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. This means agreeing on priorities, checking progress, and adjusting techniques as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the therapist's current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try different ways of working, such as practical exercises between meetings and shared goal-setting, so therapy can slot into everyday routines without big disruption.
