Vanessa Browell uses client-centred principles to shape therapy around each person she meets. She combines this with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Vanessa works in a warm, respectful way and aims to make conversations feel safe and straightforward.

Over 13 years she has helped people cope with life changes, work-related strain, compassion fatigue and issues around self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with anger, panic attacks, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Vanessa has experience working with people who are visually impaired and with women’s issues. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client. Vanessa then offers short-term tools from CBT alongside a client-centred style that follows the person’s pace.

This can include practical steps for managing anxiety, grief processing, and ways to reduce daily overwhelm. She pays attention to the emotional impact of caregiving, guilt and shame, dissociation, and isolation. Therapy may focus on rebuilding routines, coping strategies for intense feelings, or addressing workplace challenges.

Vanessa adapts each plan to the situation and goals presented in sessions. Vanessa is registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English. She works with international clients and offers several online formats to suit different needs.

How Vanessa’s Approaches Work Online

Vanessa uses client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to build trust and clarity. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what they want to change. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Vanessa will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Therapy is collaborative so adjustments are made as progress and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write or need flexible ways to check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy days while still using client-centred listening and practical CBT techniques.
