Vanessa Gordon

Vanessa Gordon is a counsellor who helps people dealing with eating concerns and related life stresses. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for those feeling stuck by anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship strain or grief. Her style is practical and down to earth, aimed at small steps that make daily life easier.

Vanessa works in an integrative way and draws on a number of approaches to suit different needs. She often uses person‑centred ideas to focus on what matters to each person now. She also brings psychodynamic and solution‑focused ways of working to look at patterns from the past and develop clear, short‑term goals.

She combines talking therapy with mindfulness, simple relaxation exercises and other wellbeing practices learned through additional training. Vanessa teaches techniques to manage strong emotions, improve self‑care and shift unhelpful beliefs about food, body image and identity.

Vanessa is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears as BACP in her credentials. She has five years of counselling experience and has supported adults with a range of issues including trauma, addictions and chronic illness.

Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. People curious about how therapy might fit into their life are invited to begin by completing the service's short matching questionnaire and then booking a session that suits them.

Her work aims to help people find steadier ground, learn tools they can use between sessions, and regain a clearer sense of who they want to be.

How Vanessa's approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑centred work places the person's concerns at the heart of each session and encourages the therapist to follow what matters most to the client. This can help with eating concerns, self‑esteem and relationship issues by focusing on present priorities and practical coping.

Psychodynamic ideas look at how past patterns influence current behaviour and feelings. Online conversations can bring these patterns into view and help clients notice repeated themes that affect food, body image and relationships.

Solution‑focused methods aim to build small, achievable changes and clear goals. They are useful for people who want practical steps to manage stress, cravings or difficult emotions between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the different ways of working and collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a joint process that can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around daily life, which can make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Many people find that online sessions let them use therapy alongside work, childcare and other commitments without long travel times.
