Vanessa Teixeira

Vanessa speaks English and Portuguese and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She holds the NCPS credential and has six years of professional experience.

Vanessa keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most.

Together they build steps to reduce symptoms and increase day-to-day coping. The focus can be on managing low mood, building self-esteem, working through past abuse, or tackling addictive patterns.

Her approach adapts to each person's needs. She combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with attachment-informed ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps many clients make space for difficult feelings while taking action on their values. Vanessa aims to make therapy collaborative and respectful.

She explains options, checks what feels useful, and adjusts the plan when needed. Sessions can involve practical exercises, conversational work and homework to try between meetings.

People choose Vanessa when they want clear steps and a compassionate listener. She supports clients through relationship concerns, stress, depression and issues linked to identity or past care experiences.

The emphasis is on small, achievable change rather than quick fixes.
