About me

Certified Trauma Informed Health and Wellbeing Coach, EFT & NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist

Hi, I'm Vanessa

I am passionate about individuals reconnecting with their authenticity.

My passion comes from my journey since breast cancer which was my sign post to change, it was a teacher and an opportunity to rediscover me. This experience allowed me to focus inward, to bring more awareness into my consciousness and through being still, I found space to heal and rediscover my true essence. Through tapping I was able to feel back into my body, release past traumas and find more peace, integral to this process was learning what to take responsibility for and accept, to allow me to move forward.

No one’s life is perfect, stress and trauma happens, what we can do is create more choice and learn to respond not react.

My quest to understand the past allowed me to rediscover my authentic self and has shown me how to find the light in the darkness. Now I would like to share my gifts with you.

I believe that each individual has the potential within to become happier and healthier, the small steps each day is what counts, the ripple effect.

There is no time like the present, what are you waiting for? The best version of you is waiting to be discovered…

Why work with me?

My embodied experience and the meaning I have found from adverse life experiences enables me to bring that deeper level of understanding and empathy to each session. I believe from all experiences there is a teaching if we have enough awareness to see the reality and it takes courage to look within, hold up that mirror, than to continually distract ourselves by doing and not being.

Happiness is intrinsic we are all beautifully imperfect, part of being human.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Veronika

"I was really struggling, mentally and with grief. Vanessa introduced me to tapping, and it really helped me day to day, it is my saviour. I tap most days! Without Vanessa I wouldn’t have know about tapping. After each session I felt lighter and calm. It was a lovely experience, thank you Vanessa.

Sarah

"Vanessa is very compassionate and creates a very safe and relaxed environment, which made me feel comfortable, able to share and can take your time feeling the things you’re feeling. I never felt rushed and I felt like she was really present with me in each session we had together. I also liked the fact that Vanessa worked with me to find the words that felt right to me, as opposed to being too prescriptive. I felt like she gently guided me to where I needed to go, but let me feel the way myself. This made my sessions feel very personal and true to me and helped me to really connect to my emotions and experiences."

Caroline

Vanessa is very perceptive; she senses my mood and needs early on in a session and uses different techniques to guide me to a better place to get the best from our time together. She is patient and always encouraging in her guidance. I never doubt that she believes in me, which makes me feel empowered. She is both practical and creative in setting clear and realistic goals and solutions. I always feel motivated after our sessions. Vanessa is a compassionate, caring and incredibly supportive coach and human being.

Claire

"Vanessa provides a wonderfully safe space in which I am able to share my feelings. She is non-judgmental and empowering. The words she chooses to use are carefully selected and resonate with how I am feeling. She has a unique ability to re-phrase thoughts and emotions in a positive way to allow me to start to think differently. "

Louise

"The tapping clarifies scenarios and highlights the emotions involved. The re-programming with Timeline Therapy was excellent. Vanessa is wonderfully empathetic and helps me feel and see issues for what they really are, she can put her finger on the exact thing needed rather than focusing on the story behind it, screening it. Always friendly and perfectly professional. I appreciate the way Vanesas works according to my needs working through the layers of resistance as and when necessary, and she pick ups on the subtleties skillfully."

Helen

"Vanessa was brilliant in her approach, I was honestly surprised by my emotional response, it was very powerful, and I found it to be such as positive experience to help me move forward. I am so grateful for her time, empathy and compassion, I wish I had come sooner."

Katy

I am so impressed with her wealth of knowledge on this subject and have been able to adapt many of her ideas into my daily diet. My last session both of us agreed to look more deeply into IET (tapping). This is all quite new to me. We based the session around poor self-esteem as this was my objective and we covered past traumas in this process. I rediscovered by depth of feelings that were uncovered. My trust and confidence in Vanessa is phenomenal.
