THERAPY THAT WORKS
Ready to change your life for the better? Achieve your full potential and experience a more enjoyable, fulfilling life and happier relationships.
WELCOME
Hello and welcome! I’m an experienced therapist offering online counselling and psychotherapy to adults and teenagers across the UK. I excel at helping individuals overcome stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief.
My interest is in people rather than diagnoses, but I specialise in helping those who experience dissociation and/or psychosis and who may have a mental health diagnosis such as schizophrenia, a personality disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or a dissociative disorder (including DID).
I’m fully qualified, having both a Foundation Degree and a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and I’m a member of the BACP, the largest professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. I’ve attended additional training for personality disorders, understanding addiction, dissociation and DID, and Mental Health First Aid, and have done specialist voluntary work for Mind. I’m also an Oxygen Advantage Functional Breathing Instructor.
APPROACH
I’m professional and ethical, warm and smiley, authentic and honest, gentle and compassionate and I’ll always keep you safe by ensuring that we progress at a pace that you feel comfortable with. There are hundreds of different types of therapy available, but research indicates that the type of approach is not important.
The most significant factors to affect positive outcomes are: that you feel a good connection with me, and that you feel ready to fully commit to engaging with your therapy. I practice integrative counselling because it gives me the flexibility to provide you with the most effective methods and techniques for your needs: I tailor my approach to suit you, giving you the best opportunity to achieve the results you want.
GET UNSTUCK
Sometimes the difficulties we face in life seem to keep us stuck. Whatever we try, nothing seems to make a real difference. Even though our family and friends are well-meaning, their advice doesn’t help and can occasionally leave us feeling worse!
At times like these, talking to an experienced, professional counsellor can enable you to turn things around. Counselling with me will give you the opportunity to discover what’s causing your “stuckness”, decide how to move forward and regain control. Change can happen for you. Are you ready to achieve your full potential, experience a more enjoyable, fulfilling life and happier relationships? Then contact me today, why wait?

Vanessa is a polite, professional and an all round wonderful woman. From the first moment we met she made me feel at ease and comfortable. This was a huge relief as I spent many hours leading up to my appointment worring and even debating not going at all. Vanessa listened and understood my situation and helped my see clearly through all of my worries and bad habits. She supported me every step of the way, helping me with many ideas and techniques. I am pleased to say that all of Vanessas help has enabled me to completely change my life. I cannot thank Venessa enough for what she has done for me and I know she could do the same for you too. Do not hesitate to call her or send an email , I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you soo much Venessa I am forever greatful . Kurt x”
