About Vanessa
Vanessa Browell works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She combines this with practical cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges. Vanessa is based in the United Kingdom and has 13 years of experience supporting people through difficult times.
She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and panic attacks, and offers support for grief and loss. Vanessa also assists with low self-esteem, workplace pressures and coping with life changes. She is experienced in helping people affected by trauma, compassion fatigue and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.
Vanessa uses straightforward conversation and practical tasks that relate to everyday life. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with a focus on small steps that can make daily life easier. She aims to be respectful, sensitive and steady while people work through painful topics.
Her practice also covers caregiver stress, dissociation, guilt and shame, isolation and forgiveness. Vanessa has experience working with people who are visually impaired and with women’s issues. She explains NCPS as a professional credential and draws on over a decade of practice in the UK.
People who choose to work with her can expect clear discussion about goals and realistic steps to try between sessions. Vanessa encourages collaboration and checks progress so plans can change as needs shift. This practical, person-centred style is aimed at making therapy understandable and manageable for busy lives.
How Vanessa's approaches translate to online therapy
Vanessa commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and building a trusting relationship, helping people feel heard and understood before deciding next steps. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and manage symptoms such as panic attacks.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Vanessa will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend ways of working that match the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling during a lunch break or when travel is difficult. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Many people find remote sessions reduce time spent travelling and let them keep therapeutic work consistent alongside daily commitments.
