About Vanessa

Vanessa Putnam is a trained counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family conflicts, grief, and loss. She has worked with adults, older adults, and young people aged 14 to 25, and brings experience in supporting clients through parenting challenges and life transitions.

Holding the BACP credential - a recognition associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Vanessa emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation, aiming to meet individual needs rather than applying a single approach to every client.

Vanessa recognizes that beginning therapy can take courage and honors that first step. She focuses on building a collaborative therapeutic relationship and works with clients to set goals and explore practical ways forward. Her practice centers on offering steady support as clients address emotional difficulties and everyday challenges, with an emphasis on tailoring the process to what each person finds most helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach helps when someone needs a compassionate listener to explore feelings, self-esteem, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking patterns, and developing coping skills for everyday challenges.

Systemic Therapy examines relationships and family patterns, aiming to improve communication and resolve conflicts that affect the whole system. It is often effective for couples, blended families, and relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vanessa works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Vanessa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, and allow clients to choose the format that best suits their lifestyle and comfort level. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, ongoing support.
