Description
Hi, I’m Vanessa, a counselling therapist specialising in supporting couples and individuals through the complexities of relationship challenges. Whether you’re struggling with communicating with your partner, infidelity, sexual trauma, anxiety around sex or feelings of shame and guilt, my goal is to offer a genuine, nonjudgmental, and safe space where you can begin to heal. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and culturally sensitive, tailored to fit your unique needs and circumstances. You don’t have to navigate these difficult emotions alone. I’m here to help you.
