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 .

"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."
