Some comments from my clients...

---

I have been seeing Vanessa for 2 years now, and her support throughout my placements, training, and business set up  has been invaluable. 

Through her wealth of knowledge, reliability, empathy and ethics, I have grown not only as a counsellor but as an individual too. She has provided me with a safe space and healthy boundaries to reflect  upon issues presented, whilst offering support, constructive feedback and guidance where professionally appropriate. She has immense knowledge of varying theoretical approaches and modalities, explains them clearly and personalised to suit you.

I am so massively glad that I typed that initial email enquiry a couple years ago as she is such a joy to work with.

I was grateful for the help and support I received this last year, for the wise, professional and expert approach, for the warmth and humour. Which created and atmosphere for easy conversation and openness.

As an older person it was important to me to be able to talk with someone who would enable me, to offer relevant support and constructive reflection. Vanessa helped me to understand, to reflect and focus on my way forward. Every week I looked forward to our meeting knew it would be a warm, humorous, easy and op-en conversation.

I came away uplifted and inspired which enabled me to move forward.

Vanessa is the first therapist I have ever been to and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I was struggling with depression and the breakdown of my marriage. She instantly made me feel safe and supported, she was very professional and opened up so much for me, really made me think.  

I believe with the sessions I have had, I truly have found myself and my resilience again. 

Vanessa was really, very easy to talk to and I’am someone that struggles to open up, but the work we have done together has been incredibly transformative. I can’t thank her enough and I would highly recommend 

her as a therapist to anyone.

Vanessa is an incredibly experienced and professional therapist who instantly made me feel at ease. Her calm presence and the safe, comfortable therapeutic space she provides gave me the confidence to open up and explore things I hadn't been able to before. Truly transformative support that I highly recommend.

I really feel like my confidence has grown throughout this whole process and really feel I have had a very supportive supervisor who has not only challenged me to think outside of the box but pushed me at a steady pace. Vanessa got me to really think about situations from another point of view when I was really stuck with challenging clients but also filled me with confidence by simply normalising my feelings when I was struggling so helped pushed me through the tougher times. Vanessa has taught me so much and showed me ‘its okay just to be myself’. She has also allowed me to become vulnerable with her which I feel has only made our professional relationship more stronger. 

I  hope to work with her again in the future.

I have had Vanessa as my Supervisor for several years since being a trainee and I have felt completely supported by her in terms of knowledge and experience and also in her caring and calm nature.  I come away from Supervision feeling more confident and able to value the work that I am doing as this is celebrated, however we also have an honest relationship where, if needed I can be challenged but again this is done with care and support.  I feel very lucky to have found Vanessa and look forward to my supervision because of this.

Vanessa was recommended to me as someone who would not be afraid to challenge me as I wanted to work with someone who would not simply agree with everything I said. She has done that, very kindly and with humour.

She is flexible, thoughtful and not easily shocked.

I have grown in confidence and my ability to express my needs since working with her, and I am very, very grateful.

I heartily recommend her without reservation.
