About Vanessa
Vanessa Gordon is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She offers a calm space to talk about relationships, self‑esteem, addiction and other life challenges. Vanessa writes plainly and listens closely so people can begin to feel less overwhelmed.
She blends a few therapeutic styles to address the past and the present. Sessions look at how early experiences shape self‑view and how current patterns affect day‑to‑day life.
Background and approach
Conversation is practical and grounded, often including simple steps to try between meetings. Vanessa draws on client‑centred work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She uses narrative techniques to help people tell a different story about themselves.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeated life patterns and where they come from. She also uses solution‑focused tools to set clear, small goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to name different parts of inner experience. Mindfulness, breathing exercises and other calming practices are offered when helpful.
Vanessa holds BACP, which is listed as her credential. She has five years of practice experience working with adults on issues such as grief, trauma, intimacy, body image and caregiver stress. Sessions can be arranged by following the site’s sign-up and matching process.

Online support
Narrative therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. It separates the person from the problem and looks for moments of strength and choice. This can help with depression, identity worries and repeated relationship patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice recurring patterns and how past experiences influence current behaviour. Talking about these patterns can free up energy for different choices in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques as needs change so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and non‑verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or have limited bandwidth. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check‑ins, ongoing reflection and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
