Vanessa East , BACP

Vanessa East offers an integrative, experience-informed approach to therapy, inviting people to check with her for alternative appointment times if they do not see a slot that fits. She connects with people who seek support for a wide range of concerns and draws on personal and professional experience to empathise and respond to what brings someone to therapy.

Her practice has included work with agencies and individuals on issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, pain management, codependency, loss and grief, rejection and abandonment, and trauma in its many forms including sexual, racial, developmental, relational, and generational trauma. She has supported people facing personality-related difficulties, addictions, eating and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family challenges, chronic illness and pain, and occupational or caregiver stress. Vanessa believes in the possibility of healing and change.

Vanessa tailors therapy to each person, working creatively and intuitively across mind, body, and spirit. She integrates cognitive methods, somatic techniques, and psychodynamic or spiritual perspectives so clients can bring their full selves into sessions. Work may focus on practical symptom relief or on exploring early development and attachment to understand present relationships with self and others.

Her training includes an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Hypno-Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling, certification in hypno-psychotherapy techniques such as self-hypnosis and anchoring, Internal Family Systems training with the UK Internal Family Systems Institute, and family constellation-informed practice. Additional training covers somatic and polyvagal approaches, trauma-informed and culturally responsive therapy, couples work and communication skills, group facilitation, and emotional regulation and resilience building. Vanessa holds BACP, a recognised professional counselling membership in the United Kingdom, and she is currently accepting clients including international referrals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Vanessa draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional safety; this approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related anxiety. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, mood challenges, and stress. In addition, her client-centered work creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where therapists listen deeply and support each person to find their own path forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Vanessa works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Vanessa is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of treatment, access care from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
