About Vanessa

Vanessa Gordon is a counsellor who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She works with people dealing with grief, addiction, body image and identity concerns. Vanessa also helps clients through career changes, intimacy issues and coping with life transitions.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears on her profile as BACP. Vanessa uses a blend of approaches to suit each person.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what is happening now as well as how past experiences shape feelings and behaviour. She encourages calm, self-care and practical steps that fit everyday life. Conversations are respectful and paced to match how someone prefers to work.

Clients can expect help with communication problems, low self-esteem and issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame. Vanessa also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness impact, dissociation and effects of trauma and abuse. She offers support around eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges and relationship separation.

Over five years she has worked with adults across a range of mental health challenges. Her practice brings together client-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused tasks. Internal Family Systems and narrative ideas inform how she explores identity and internal parts.

Vanessa combines talking therapies with practical education in self-care and mindfulness skills. She aims to help people build clearer self-understanding and more manageable day-to-day routines. The emphasis is on realistic steps and steady progress that people can keep up after sessions end.

How Vanessa's approaches translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and acceptance. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what someone says and helps them find their own answers, which can ease anxiety and build self-worth.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. A counsellor helps separate problems from the person and rewrite unhelpful narratives, which can help with identity, shame and body image concerns.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to how past experiences shape today's patterns. This approach can be useful for understanding recurring relationship dynamics and emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals and how they prefer to work. That collaboration helps shape sessions and the tasks taken between meetings.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and share screen-based tools. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep a steady routine of sessions while juggling work, family and daily life.
