Vanessa East, BACP

Vanessa East is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and a wide range of other concerns. She works with issues such as addictions, intimacy questions, self-esteem, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. Vanessa also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar challenges, anger and career pressures.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to each person. Sessions can focus on practical coping skills or on exploring early life and attachment patterns that shape today's relationships. Vanessa names both the psychological and bodily sides of distress, bringing attention to how feelings live in the body as well as the mind.

Her background includes a recognised professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked across different agencies and with a broad range of presentations over three years in practice. That experience informs a flexible, person-focused style.

Vanessa describes her work as creative and intuitive. She may use cognitive techniques, somatic work, or longer-term exploration depending on what a person needs. People can expect conversations about patterns, practical strategies to manage symptoms, and space to reflect on values and meaning.

She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients. To start, people choose the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help when patterns of mistrust, fear of abandonment, or repeated relationship difficulties cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship in the room, offering acceptance and reflection so people can find their own solutions and grow at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works with thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood, using practical techniques and experiments to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Vanessa will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as goals and needs evolve.

Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making scheduling easier. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, more frequent brief sessions, or appointments that better match work hours and family commitments.
