Vanessa saved my life and is always in my corner whenever I need her. My life wouldn’t be the same without her, blessed

Lovely sessions with Vanessa, very caring and listening without judging. Looking into behaviour depth of emotions and why we have them, ways to help and understand our own thoughts.
Really interesting and mind opening. Love it.

Written on Dec 22, 2024 after therapy with Vanessa for 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues

I can't say enough about Vanessa, she is just amazing. When starting my therapy journey I felt lost and confused but Vanessa reassured me from the start that she would be by my side to help me navigate the hard times. She has been a safe space during bad days. I feel listened to and not judged. She's a warm kind person who's passion is to help people. Vanessa is very knowledgeable and almost magic in how she's able to help me when I dont even know how to help myself. I am very grateful to have met Vanessa and I look forward to the rest of our journey together x

Even when I think it is going nowhere, she always has a plan and is many steps ahead. Surprising me every time. Did not think I would be doing therapy for this long, and yet here we are. Grateful for my therapist she’s awesome.
