About Vanessa

Vanessa Browell works with stress, anxiety, grief and coping with life changes using a person-centred approach combined with practical CBT techniques. She is registered with NCPS and has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on straightforward conversations that help people manage strong emotions. Sessions address worry, panic attacks, low mood, anger and the stress that comes from work or caring for others. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Vanessa adapts the way she talks and plans work to suit each person. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

She has specific experience supporting visually impaired people and women facing life transitions. Career-related stress and compassion fatigue from caring roles are additional areas she addresses. Her approach balances practical steps with space to talk through painful experiences.

Vanessa has worked in the field for over a decade and brings that sustained practice to sessions. People start by describing what is most difficult, then agree goals and small, manageable steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on clear, achievable changes rather than lengthy theory.

How her approaches work in online counselling

The client-centred approach focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It involves open conversation where the counsellor follows the client’s concerns and helps them find their own solutions. This is useful for grief, relationship issues and feeling overwhelmed.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Vanessa will discuss goals and try different methods together to see what helps best, adjusting plans based on the client’s needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief session is needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work can still use the same therapeutic approaches as face-to-face sessions, while adjusting exercises and between-session tasks for remote delivery.
