I’ve had a wonderful experience of ADHD coaching with Vanessa. She is full of insight, has a kind approach and tailor designs all the coaching to your goals. She takes the time to get into the detail and analyse to ensure accuracy in support, and also works holistically to keep all areas of your life in mind. The thing that stood out to me most was her strength based approach to ADHD - I feel empowered to lean into my gifts rather than purely focus on managing difficulties. Thank you so much!
Working with Vanessa through Access to Work has been a game changer. She’s approachable, straight talking, and professional - no fluff, just real understanding. What I’ve valued most is her practical grasp of ADHD, both in business and everyday life, and her ability to create simple systems that actually work!
In just a few sessions, we’ve covered so much that’s already reduced my overwhelm and decision fatigue. I’m seeing calmer days, smoother client management, and more headspace to focus on my business future.
If you want realistic, sustainable strategies delivered with empathy and accountability, I can’t recommend Vanessa enough. She’s genuinely helped me shift my mindset and find clear direction in how I run my business - life changing actually, and that is not an exaggeration!

Working with Vanessa has been life-changing as an individual with ADHD. She created a space where I felt genuinely safe to unmask, which allowed me to realise just how much I had been people-pleasing for years. Her gentle, strengths-based approach helped me rebuild my confidence and trust in myself. When we started, I didn’t believe I could do certain things, and by the end, I was doing them. I’m so grateful for her support, and I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for compassionate and empowering ADHD coaching.
I have been supported for the last 6-7 years, and it has changed my life, without the honest, caring and productive therapy I have had I don’t know who I would be. I have been able to heal, speak my inner thoughts that I would never have shared with friends or family and feel understood. It’s not just speaking about how you feel. It’s digging out things you’d never thought of and finding productive ways to improve and heal. I highly recommend
Engaging in coaching with Vanessa is single handedly the most worthwhile investment in myself that I’ve ever made. The sessions were so well planned, as were the tasks I’d undertake in between times. I felt I was able to be my complete self throughout and Vanessa has helped me live a life that is truer to my values and I can see the impact this is having in such a positive way. Hoping to continue sessions for the long term!
After only 3 sessions with Vanessa, things are moving in a very positive direction - with her help I have definitely turned a corner! Our conversations are changing my perspective and helping boost my confidence. I'm letting go of old habits and adopting healthier ones.
Three specific examples:
a) My desk stays clear every day.
b) I caught up on five months of expense claims and I'm current for this month - what a relief!
c) My communication skills are improving as I become more mindful of my words.
My wife has also commented on how good and effective Vanessa is, and she can see - and enjoy the benefits.
Vanessa, thank you!

For those looking for ADHD support, I strongly recommend Vanessa. Through her ADHD coaching practice, she offers a calm, compassionate, and generous presence that naturally invites self-reflection. In this comforting environment, new ideas emerge effortlessly, leading to tangible progress through concrete strategies.
fantastic service really helped me through some challenging times, Vanessa is incredible made me feel very comfortable and really gave me the tools and information I needed to start making some better choices
Working with Vanessa was a really fantastic experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable, understanding and passionate about mental health. She also has excellent knowledge of ADHD and can help those struggling with ADHD to help manager their day-to day-symptoms.
She was able to be completely flexible with how she worked, completely giving me freedom in how I wanted therapy to be structured and the topics I wanted to discuss. She was able to easily swap between a therapeutic approach, exploring trauma or relationship issues, or a coaching approach offering practical strategies to help with day to day life.
Throughout our time working together, Vanessa was always very compassionate and warm. She was always engaged showing a genuine and caring approach which helped create a safe place where I felt comfortable talking about difficult personal topics
I can't thank her enough for the time we spent together and would thoroughly recommend her to anybody who would like to learn more about themselves, improve their mental health and learn practical strategies to help them with day to day life.

A very safe and comfortable environment that’s created and that really goes hand in hand with the support offered.
It's hard to express in words how fantastic Vanessa is! Her kindness, understanding and professionalism shone through from the start, all in a very safe and comfortable space. I felt a deep connection from the first time we spoke and undertaking a journey with Vanessa has resulted in significant changes for me - changes for life! I cannot recommend Vanessa highly enough - a truly wonderful person.
I would highly recommend Vanessa for EMDR! After suffering with quite a specific anxiety for a number of years, Vanessa was very understanding, honest and committed to helping me work through this. She created a really safe and comfortable environment and in turn I always looked forwards to my sessions with her. I couldn’t be happier with the changes i’ve seen in myself and the end result of feeling uplifted and positive about my future! Thank you so much Vanessa, I am so glad i came across you and your amazing work 🥰.
I’ve been seeing Vanessa for a whole host of different and complex mental health reasons for a number of years. Sometimes I go for months and months without needing her support and other times I see her weekly - that’s one of the great things about her, the adaptability to my needs. Vanessa is supportive, professional, and extremely knowledgeable across a wide breadth of issues and treatments / approaches. Without doubt the best therapist I have ever worked with and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Vanessa was recommended through a close friend and I cannot thank them both enough. Since our sessions began a little under a year ago Vanessa has helped me create a deeper understanding of myself and others and has equipped me with the knowledge to continue to improve my life, I’ll be forever grateful for this! Vanessa is a very warming, professional and highly experienced therapist and I look forward to developing myself more with her help 🙂
Vanessa was recommended to me by a friend, earlier this summer and turned out to be exactly what I needed in order to help me sort out my issues.
She is very down-to-earth and sensible and after asking questions and really listening to what one has to say, has a lot of insight into what may be troubling you - which she easily translates into ways that show a depth of discernment with understanding and sympathy, combined with practical help based on both theory and practical experience.
Within weeks I was able to see a way forward and regain my sense of purpose.

Vanessa is a very caring, compassionate and experienced counsellor. She makes you feel at ease even when it may feel hard to open up, I found her very easy to talk to. There are no words to completely describe just how much she has helped me and how our sessions have already had such a positive impact on my life. I highly recommend Vanessa and thank her from the bottom of my heart for helping me.
My daughter (age 9) has been seeing Vanessa for several months. Vanessa does such a good job of engaging her in a variety of activities and she looks forward to every session. As a result of the sessions, my daughter is clearly gaining an understanding of herself that is helping her to better manage some of her challenges. I also feel I have learnt so much about my daughter and how I can support her. Vanessa is extremely approachable, professional and supportive and I’d highly recommend her services.
