Vanessa East, BACP

Vanessa East is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She also supports those facing addictions, intimacy concerns, body image and parenting pressures. Vanessa works with people who are coping with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career challenges. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English for local and international clients.

Vanessa adapts her approach to each person. She listens first, then uses practical tools from cognitive and emotion-focused work alongside attachment ideas. Sessions can include direct skills practice and reflective conversation to make everyday life easier.

Her background includes training recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience and has worked with a wide range of difficulties, including trauma, loss, chronic health concerns and personality-related issues. That experience informs a flexible style rather than a single method.

Therapy with Vanessa often mixes thinking work with attention to bodily experience and relationships. People may focus on symptom relief or on digging into early patterns that affect their present life. The aim is to help someone feel steadier and more able to make choices that match their values.

How Vanessa's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, and can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment worries and attachment issues.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. This approach prioritises the client’s perspective and aims to build a stronger sense of self and clearer choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works on practical thinking and behaviour changes. It helps with anxiety, mood shifts and coping strategies by teaching tools you can use between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Vanessa will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. That process may shift as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care and allow therapy to happen alongside work, family and health commitments.
