About Vanessa
Vanessa Bond is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and anger. Vanessa also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain and wider life changes.
She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. Vanessa aims to help people notice patterns that make anger and frustration escalate, and to find different ways of responding in heated moments.
Her practice draws on client-centred therapy, which keeps conversations grounded in the person’s experience. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them in everyday life. Mindfulness methods are offered to help with stress, sleep and keeping calm during triggers.
Vanessa has worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, chronic illness and addiction alongside the main concerns listed above. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals shape the work. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centred therapy begins with the person’s experience. The therapist listens and follows what matters most to the client, helping them decide what to work on next and how to set realistic goals. This approach helps when anger feels connected to relationships, loss or long-standing patterns.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions the client learns to spot unhelpful thinking that fuels anger and to try different responses in everyday situations. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and temper that builds quickly.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises. These practices aim to reduce reactivity and improve focus during heated moments, and can also support sleep and stress management.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client’s goals, preferences and day-to-day demands. That plan can change as progress is made.
