Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Vanessa draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise the person’s own experience and perspective, offering a listening, empathetic stance that helps people explore feelings and identify personal strengths. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy offers practical techniques for staying present and managing overwhelming emotions, supporting better emotional regulation and reduced reactivity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Vanessa collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt methods or combine approaches to suit what will be most helpful for the individual client.

Online therapy with Vanessa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to attend from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still receiving structured, professional support from an accredited therapist.
