Vanessa An
,MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), 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 some years ago I was looking to change the role I was doing counselling became the way forward for me.
I am a BACP and NCPS Accredited counsellor who offers a safe and non judgemental space to all my clients.
I have run training and experience alongside each other to enhance my knowledge, skills develop my empathic approach and offer an honest caring 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 .

"I am truly appreciative of this online therapy experience. My therapist, Vanessa An (MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), DipCouns), was absolutely amazing! She made me feel comfortable and was so understanding of my needs. She challenged me in ways that I didn't know I needed. I appreciate how she was supportive and patient with me. I feel so much more confident with my myself and my situation. I was slightly apprehensive in the beginning of the program, but found myself looking forward to my sessions and appreciating all of the new things I have learned along the way. I definitely recommend my therapist and this program! Thank you Vanessa An for everything!"

"6 weeks in, she is wonderful. there seems to be some confusion on the website with how payments recur.. hopefully that sorts itself out next time without cancelling my session (I got it back same date and time so no harm done)."

"Vanessa really helped me have clarity in my problems. She helps you find the root cause of the issue and work with that. I dont usually get along with therapists and feel like i finally found someone i can speak freely.
She is very easy and kind to work with - would fully recommend!"

"I started working with Vanessa when I was in a really dark place. My phobias were crippling, and I honestly felt hopeless about my future. After just four sessions, I finally feel hopeful again—like I can actually enjoy my life. Vanessa helped me understand that healing is a process and gave me the tools to make a massive breakthrough that completely changed my life forever. If you're struggling with phobias or anxiety, please don’t miss the chance to work with Vanessa. She’s an outstanding therapist, and I can’t thank her enough!!!"

"Vanessa An (MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), DipCouns) is an amazing counselor! I had to switch counselors ( was an effortless process through this website) and I’m so glad I did and found Vanessa. Had I known that processing the past, validation and reflection would have been so beneficial I would have not hesitated before. The new ground I’ve gained through this website and through Vanessa for my mental and emotional health was worth every penny!"

"I have been using Online-therapy.com for about 2mo now. Nessa, my therapist, has been WONDERFUL to talk to. She asks appropriate questions to get you thinking. She has a warm, caring tone, and her voice is very relaxing. She also has a great sense of humor, which I appreciate. I was having situational anxiety due to divorce, and difficulty sleeping/awakening several times/night. Her audio for relaxation was very helpful. I am now SOUNDLY sleeping, and dreaming! My anxiety has dropped from a 10 (panic attacks) to 4, and now is mostly resolved. I feel a renewed sense of myself, my confidence, and hope for the future. I suppose it is good when you don’t need your therapist any longer. But I will miss her. I have highly recommended this program to others."
