About Vanessa
Vanessa Teixeira is a counsellor who uses Jungian therapy as a guiding framework alongside practical, goal-focused methods. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Vanessa aims to offer a calm, respectful presence to help clients take that first step toward change.
She draws on six years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs, so conversations and steps are practical and relevant to everyday life.
Background and approach
Vanessa blends Jungian ideas about meaning and inner patterns with tools from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance strategies. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try small behaviour changes, and develop new ways of relating to difficult feelings.
Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationship patterns affect current wellbeing. Vanessa also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image and relationship difficulties. She writes treatment plans with the client's goals in mind and adapts techniques to fit different situations.
Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. Vanessa works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Practical options such as video, phone, live chat or text messaging are available to suit varying needs and schedules.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Vanessa combines Jungian-informed exploration with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people change how they relate to themselves and others. Jungian therapy looks at recurring inner patterns and personal symbols to find meaning and growth; it can help when someone feels stuck or disconnected from purpose. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions aligned with personal values, which is useful for anxiety, depression and addiction. Attachment-based work examines how early relationship patterns influence current relationships and coping, helping people build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Vanessa will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to immediate problems and long-term aims rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to a face-to-face conversation and useful for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins, day-to-day tracking and flexible timing around work or caregiving commitments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when travel or location change would otherwise interrupt progress.
