Vanessa Gordon, BACP

Vanessa Gordon is an integrative therapeutic counsellor with five years of experience who blends several approaches to support clients through difficult life moments and long-standing patterns. She draws on person-centred principles to put the client at the heart of the work, psychodynamic ideas to explore how the past influences current relationships and reactions, and solution-focused strategies to identify practical steps toward change. She also uses transactional analysis concepts to help clients understand how they interact with others and form their sense of self.

In addition to talk-based therapies, Vanessa incorporates a range of complementary practices she has trained in, including Reiki, mindfulness, emotional freedom techniques (EFT), Ho’oponopono practices and meditation. These tools are offered as ways to promote relaxation and to support shifts in limiting beliefs across emotional, physical, spiritual and mental domains. She teaches psychoeducation on self-love and self-care and works with people on topics such as attachment, codependency, identity, trauma, abuse, addictions and recovery of self-concept.

Vanessa is a BACP member - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she brings an ambitious, client-focused attitude to integrative work. She supports adults experiencing mild, moderate or more severe mental health difficulties, helping them build healthier relationships with themselves and others and move toward greater wellbeing.
