Background and approach
Vanessa adapts sessions to each person's needs. She draws on client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, matching the style to what feels most useful. Sessions focus on talking things through, trying out small changes and building everyday coping skills.
Her practice includes focus on attachment and abandonment concerns, feelings of guilt and shame, dissociation, forgiveness work and isolation or loneliness.

How Vanessa works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at what people do and think day to day. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and then tries practical steps to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and workplace stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try things out and adjust methods if needed. That collaboration helps match sessions to the person’s needs, preferences and pace.
The original biography did not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow quicker check-ins around work. It can also let people use sessions from wherever they are, while the therapist helps build practical tools to use in everyday life.
