Vanessa Anthony
,DipCouns
Having worked in care since 1996 I have always known this is my passion and vocation to help and support people whether singularly, couples or families in need.
I worked in the NHS Mental Health system for over 20 years and met some wonderful people over the years who have enriched my life and when 6 years ago I was looking to change the role I was doing counselling became the way forward for me.
I have run training and experience alongside each other to enhance my knowledge, skills develop my empathic approach and offer an honest and non judgemental counselling service to all who seek me out.
I know we are all individuals, sharing similar and different routes in life. We are on a journey and sometimes we become lost, stuck, anxious and question lots of things in our lives. For me offering a Person-Centred approach where you are the lead in the sessions, you are the one who changes where you go from here, is the way to offer autonomy and empower the client(s) to work on themselves and their problems and leave my sessions with positivity and a new found strength for the future.
Self Worth Self Esteem Self Belief - come start your journey with me and embrace a new world and a new sense of purpose and self .

"Vanessa is an amazing listener. She really focuses on the details and gives encouragement and empathy wherever needed. It has been great being able to share my journey with her. She’s very prompt about getting back to me and always has an encouraging word. It has brightened my days. I definitely recommend her as a therapist and counselor."

"I'm beyond grateful for finding Vanessa to be my therapist! It's taken me over 5 years to take this step and it is perfect timing with a therapist who is patient, kind and caring. I look forward to our sessions weekly and happy to be supported as I dig through my stuff."

"Vanessa is great!!!
She replies me daily with great insight and feedback.
I have been progressing fairly quickly with her guidance.
Of course is not like magic I am putting the work and tools in practice.
But it wouldn’t been possible without her kindnesses, knowledge and support.
Thank you!!!"

"Immediately felt comfortable talking to Vanessa and opening up as to my reasons to be seeking counselling with no judgement and really felt that I could just speak without being directed to any solutions until I'd had my chance to tell my story and explain my situation. I was also really impressed with level of detail remembered between sessions, especially when I felt I'd shared so much so quickly. I've been in therapy before and did not feel the more structured therapy was for me but was able to just speak and explore my issues freely which is what I preferred and was offered... thanks"

"I’ve been looking for a therapist who actually listens to me and doesn’t make me feel like I am being judged or what I have to say isn’t valid for a long time. This app has allowed me to find this therapist and has given me encouragement to keep trying to work through my problems."

"This online therapy was more effective than I had expected. It has been difficult as well, as the therapy is working well. I was also lucky to find my therapist. I recommend this to anyone who is ready for the hard time that comes with it. Only if there was a painkiller for heartaches..."
