Vanessa Gordon , BACP

Vanessa Gordon is an integrative therapeutic counsellor who brings a practical and compassionate approach to supporting adults facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works from an integrative framework that draws on person-centred, psychodynamic, solution-focused and transactional analysis methods to address past experiences, present coping, and how people relate to others. Vanessa also holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised UK credential for counselling professionals.

In addition to talking therapy, Vanessa practises Reiki II and offers simple relaxation techniques intended to promote balance and a sense of wholeness through both distance and hands-on methods. She teaches mindfulness, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Ho’oponopono practices and meditation to help clients notice and shift unhelpful beliefs and perceptions across emotional, physical, spiritual and mental aspects of wellbeing. As a trained Mental Health First Aid facilitator, she incorporates psychoeducation on self-love and self-care into her work.

Vanessa has experience supporting adults with mild to severe mental health concerns, including attachment difficulties, codependency, relationship problems, identity and self-concept issues, trauma, abuse, violence and addictions. She aims to help people improve day-to-day functioning, restore healthier relationships and strengthen self-validation. Vanessa describes herself as self-motivated and client-focused, working in an integrative way to help clients move toward wellness and the best possible version of themselves.
