Whether you’re seeking improved wellbeing, better tools to cope with stress, anxiety or depression, experiencing burnout or just ready to explore some changes that could bring you closer to the life you want to be living, Vanessa can support you in this process. Using an integrative approach grown from over a decade of experience within various mental health settings, Vanessa now works privately with individuals experiencing both common and complex challenges. She is experienced in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness and Creative methods, and is trained in Process Oriented Psychology (also called Process Work), an approach developed from Jungian depth psychotherapy.

Delivering a warm and compassionate approach, Vanessa will work with you to formulate the best way forward, tailoring a unique program to meaningfully support you. Her approach to supporting wellness and good mental health is further informed by society and culture studies, philosophy, and an interest in nutrition and neuroscience.

Her main goal in therapy is to facilitate a process that feels natural, uncomplicated and safe, that allows you to explore and make sense of your problems, begin to know and experience your authentic self, identify and understand your values so that you may take effective action and experience a new kind of empowerment from that which holds you back.
