About Vanessa
Vanessa Anthony offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and focuses on everyday steps that can reduce overwhelm. Vanessa aims to help people feel steadier and more able to handle what’s in front of them.
Vanessa holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She has nine years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. Her work often involves helping people manage grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, mood difficulties and parenting strains.
Her approach draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means conversations begin with the person’s priorities, then practical ways of changing unhelpful thoughts and routines are introduced. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are also used to build short-term coping and clearer plans.
Vanessa has worked with people from different cultures, faiths and neurodivergent backgrounds. She also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness, family conflict and adjustment after separation. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is included among the areas she addresses.
Sessions are presented in a straightforward way and aim to be respectful, non-judgemental and goal-focused. Vanessa encourages clients to use their own strengths and to set realistic steps between sessions. She helps people notice small changes that make a real difference over time.
How Vanessa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Vanessa uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core parts of her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective, building a non-judgemental conversation that helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Mindfulness techniques are often brought into sessions to help with stress, sleep and managing difficult emotions. These are taught in simple steps and can include short breathing or awareness exercises that people can practise between meetings. Vanessa aims to work collaboratively to identify which approaches feel most useful for each person’s goals and circumstances.
