About Vanessa

Vanessa Browell is a counsellor with 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also helps those coping with major life changes and the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue.

She draws on client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where each person sets the pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used when practical tools and thought-based work can help reduce symptoms and build new habits.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped to suit the individual rather than following a fixed script. Vanessa has experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, anger, attachment and abandonment issues, and dissociation. She also addresses workplace problems, career concerns, panic attacks, and the particular needs of visually impaired clients.

Women's issues, guilt, shame and isolation are within her focus too. Her approach emphasises sensitivity and compassion while offering clear, practical steps you can try between sessions. Conversations and exercises are tailored to your goals so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Vanessa aims to support people as they build resilience and find steadier footing in daily life. People start by talking about what matters most to them and then agree a plan together. The work often mixes emotional support with straightforward strategies to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Over time this combination can reduce distress and make everyday tasks feel easier.

How Vanessa blends approaches for online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers acceptance and empathy while you decide what to talk about and the pace of progress. This approach helps when people need a calm space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) emphasises practical work on thoughts and behaviours. It uses short exercises and simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful alongside talking work when clear steps are wanted.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Vanessa will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits your needs rather than a fixed programme.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick support, reflective writing or those who prefer not to use audio or video. These options offer flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving or mobility needs.
