About Vanessa
Vanessa Bond is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Vanessa aims to support people who are ready to take small steps toward feeling better.
She believes each person is the expert in their own story and that strengths already exist to build on. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way now and finding practical ways to move forward.
Background and approach
Vanessa offers a calm, non-judgemental space and encourages clients to set goals they find meaningful. Her approach draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural methods and mindfulness practices. That means conversations are guided by the person in front of her, with simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and techniques to bring attention back to the present moment.
These elements are used to tackle problems like sleeping difficulties, anger and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Vanessa also works with people facing grief, addiction and life transitions such as divorce or career change. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and caregiving stress.
She pays attention to how physical health issues and chronic illness can affect mood and daily coping. People who choose Vanessa often want practical ideas they can try between meetings and a supportive listener while they practice new ways of coping.
