Hi, I'm Vanessa, an imperfect human who loves supporting others with difficulties and challenges, helping them understand what they need and how to get that. I am integrative in my approach which means I use combined styles and theories focussing on our therapeutic relationship as the key to the work. I work confidentially and creatively, giving you the space you need for you. I work with both adults and children varying my style and experience according to what the client needs. I'd love to hear from you to see if we are a good fit.
Alongside traditional talking, I can offer a creative approach incorporating art, clay and story - sometimes, to start, it can feel easier to express ourselves creatively especially if we feel we don't have the words, or talking hasn't helped before.
As an experienced therapist, both here and in East Africa, I use both my lived experience, client experience and skills to support healing and growth in a kind and compassionate way.

In our first session together, we will explore what has brought you to therapy and think about the best way to help you to make progress and heal. We can use talking therapy, a coaching style or incorporate some creativity through art, clay and metaphor. My job is to support you with what YOU need.
