About Vanessa

Vanessa Gordon is a counsellor who helps people affected by stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. She works with issues such as depression, addictions, grief and self-esteem. Vanessa uses straightforward language and practical tools so conversations are clear and focused.

She practises an integrative style that draws on person-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means she pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships, while keeping sessions grounded in what matters now.

Background and approach

She also uses solution-focused techniques to help people set realistic goals and find small steps forward. Vanessa holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of clinical experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, relationship breakdown, and long-term conditions that affect emotional wellbeing.

In sessions she brings practical skills such as mindfulness, emotional freedom techniques and meditation to help people manage stress and unwanted beliefs. She also offers psychoeducation about self-care and self-compassion to strengthen coping between sessions. Vanessa describes her work as collaborative and aims to help each person build stronger self-understanding.

She combines talking therapies with attention to how people relate to themselves and others. Her approach is flexible - she adapts methods to suit each person’s needs, pace and goals. This helps people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and steadier coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Vanessa uses client-centred work to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people are listened to and helped to make their own choices. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and clearer self-understanding.

She also uses narrative therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face, and to rewrite unhelpful stories about identity and relationships. This can help with issues like shame, body image and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Vanessa works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will suggest options, check how they feel in practice, and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for this way of working. Video calls let you see each other and work through emotional material in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who communicate better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments.
