Compassionate therapy for life challenges
Start with Vanessa HigginsLicensed · Professional · Cancel Anytime
Vanessa Higgins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with over 10 years of experience supporting people through some of life’s more difficult moments. Her work focusses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and she offers therapy as a female therapist.
She uses an integrative counselling approach, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Theory. This blend of methods allows her to adapt interventions to each person’s needs - promoting personal growth and longer-term wellbeing.
Vanessa’s practice is grounded in empathy and a genuine commitment to helping others. She provides a safe, confidential space where people can work through issues at a pace that feels comfortable, with the goal of helping them feel listened to, emotionally supported and more empowered to manage whatever life brings. She offers the majority of her sessions on Mondays throughout the day and into the early evening, and on Fridays, with other sporadic slots available that may vary from week to week.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and practice have shown that remote sessions work well for a wide range of everyday mental health issues.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with therapists in the way that suits them best - by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. All therapists are licensed professionals, and individuals can choose to switch to a different therapist at any time if they would prefer a different fit.
