About Vanessa
Vanessa Browell works from a client-centred approach, putting the person at the heart of each conversation. She uses that relationship to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and work-related issues. Vanessa has 13 years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential in the United Kingdom.
She focuses on practical support for coping with life changes and the pressures of work and caregiving. Sessions often look at ways to reduce overwhelm, build confidence, and manage panic or low mood. Vanessa also offers help with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and feelings of isolation.
Vanessa adapts conversations to each person’s needs. She listens first and then works collaboratively to set small goals and straightforward steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used where helpful to spot thinking patterns and try different responses.
Her work includes supporting people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and forgiveness. She also has experience supporting people with visual impairment and women’s issues, and with workplace-related stress and career concerns.
Her style is respectful and sensitive. Vanessa aims to make sessions feel manageable and useful, helping people take practical actions between meetings. The focus is on steady progress tailored to the individual rather than quick fixes.
How client-centred and CBT work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responding with empathy and respect. In practice this means the counsellor listens, reflects what you say, and helps you make sense of your feelings so you can decide what changes to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa will help you decide which methods suit your goals and preferences, and she will adapt the plan as you go. That decision happens together, so the approach stays relevant to everyday life.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from wherever you are based. It also lets people choose quieter or less visually demanding ways of meeting if that helps them engage more comfortably.
