Vanessa is a knowledgeable and sensitive therapist who provides a safe, non-judgmental space where it is possible to unwrap and access deeper thoughts and emotions. She also has an understanding of ADHD and the difficulties associated with it, and shares valuable insight and practical help which can be applied outside of the session. I would highly recommend Vanessa as a therapist.

I am so glad to be able to get Vanessa as my therapist. I have been trying to learn the method online by myself to overcome depression, low self esteem and procrastination. It always seems difficult and complicated to understand. Vanessa instead teaches me ways to overcome all that I mentioned above with simple but very effective method. She understands what I need and she make the big concepts I have been trying to learn before seem so simple. Thanks Vanessa for changing my life!

Vanessa always holds a safe space for me to freely express my thoughts, emotions, and insights without judgment. Her way of listening is truly special—she understands my needs in a way that makes me feel deeply seen and heard. She is incredibly compassionate and always accommodates my needs with care and understanding. Her holistic approach aligns with my values, helping me see things from a bigger perspective. I can only recommend her to anyone looking for an empathetic, warm, and effective counselor who truly cares about her clients needs and their journey

I can't say enough about Vanessa, she is just amazing.

She has been a safe space during bad days. I feel listened to and not judged. She's a warm kind person who's passion is to help people.

I have been going to therapy since I was 16y/o. I am 31y/o now and for the first time, I feel I have found a therapist who actually allows the patients to process uncomfortable emotions and creates space where you feel comfortable and supported to open up. Instead forcing you to move forward without reflection. Vanessa understands the importance of investigating the cause, identifying, reflecting and allowing blocked emotions to be expressed. So thankful I finally found someone who understands and can help guide me. You are a gem.

Vanessa is not just a therapist but a confidante and a friend. She allows you to be introspective and challenge your views and thoughts in innovative and even creative ways. She’s helped me learn things about myself that I didn’t even knew I had within me ultimately allowing me to live a more self-conscious and fulfilled life overall. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Vanessa for just over 5 months now. She has been amazing and I'm so glad I chose her to help me through my recovery. She is an excellant therapist. I always leave feeling hopeful after each session even if it's been a hard one. I've tried a few therapists and Vanessa is the best one I've had by far. She's empathetic, knowledgeable and supportive. Vanessa is kind and understanding but will push you when you need it. She understands that one approach doesn't work for everyone and is willing to adapt her methods to what you need at that time. I would highly recommend working with her for help with trauma, depression and anxiety disorders.

Vanessa has been with me from the very beginning since I joined BetterHelp. She has been so supportive and insightful with what she has to offer as a professional.

I turned to Better Help for support after experiencing an episode of panic attacks and anxiety triggered by Covid19. I was paired up with Vanessa who turned out to be a very skilled and supportive therapist.
Vanessa is a great listener, she always pays attention to what I am telling her and reacts in a very sensitive and reassuring way.
She was always on time for sessions and was very flexible about the topic - I could choose what I wanted to bring to session or she would propose interesting and stimulating exercises to do in order to improve my well-being.
I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone seeking help and support or just trying to enhance their well-being and mental health.

I would recommend Vanessa to any of my family/friends - she made me feel heard and valued from the start. Vanessa gave me effective practical tools to deal with the everyday challenges. She also made me feel safe, even via video, to talk about my trauma and my fears without judgement or being patronised - she gave me help that felt tailored to me and my philosophies. Straight talking and full of understanding, thank you!

Vanessa is great. She's been very understanding in helping me with breaking the news to my family that I'm transitioning. I was worried that a therapist I couldn't choose beforehand might not be trans positive, but Vanessa has been endlessly supportive. Even when I didn't really know what to talk about, she helped me ask myself some questions. Talking to Vanessa is kind of like giving myself permission to open doors I didn't want to look at and peek behind them.
