My name is Vanessa and I have been a practising integrative counsellor since 2009. I run a therapeutic counselling service in Epsom near Banstead & Ashtead.

I have been accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) since 2012. To become accredited, members must complete many hours of training, practice and supervision and go through a rigorous application and assessment process. In addition I am an accredited member of the Foundation for Infant Loss Training.

I can also work over telephone or online and have been doing so since 2011. I have completed 'Moving your practice online-a brief course for counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health practitioners' by Online Therapy Institute.
In addition to my private practice, I work as a counsellor for an employee assistance programme. I am also contracted to work with NHS patients through IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies). I spent 2.5 years working as a staff counsellor for a government department.

So what does counselling actually involve?
I'm a counsellor in Epsom. However I can work with people all over Surrey & the UK, online or by telephone. We meet for an initial session and then you decide if you would like further sessions. It is important you feel comfortable with me, as it is widely understood that it is the relationship between client and counsellor which is the determining factor in leading to a successful outcome.
If you decide to continue after the first session, we will agree to work together with clear aims in a warm, accepting and therapeutic environment. During the session, you share your thoughts and feelings with me and I will use my counselling skills to help. Counselling is not a quick fix. As a client you must be prepared to embark on a journey which will involve increasing self awareness and may be uncomfortable at times. I will be with you the whole time, supporting you with empathy and understanding.
Counselling ultimately offers you the chance to feel free. It can increase your wellbeing and enjoyment of life.
