“Vannessa’s calm, warm and professional manner has been consistent throughout. I started indoors and was only too happy to then head out walking and talking. To be in and around nature adds another level to the therapy. I found it to be a very holistic approach where we could talk freely and openly whilst enjoying what the elements had to offer us. My dogs were very happy too!”
“I’d not had therapy before and before the first session I was quite apprehensive, unsure what to expect and unconvinced it could help me. However I quickly felt at ease with Vannessa and after even a couple of sessions I felt like I’d made a lot of progress and learned some really useful techniques. After ten sessions I genuinely feel like a different person – I’ve rediscovered the joy in life, and feel so much calmer and at ease with myself and the world“
“By working outdoors I had the benefit of two therapists – Vannessa and the site we used! The location played an important role in our sessions, both symbolic and practical. By walking alongside each other I felt able to talk more easily than if we’d been sat inside across a room from each other. And each session had an additional wellbeing benefit of spending time outside in the fresh air, whatever the weather“
“Walking with Vannessa was an incredibly calm and refreshing experience! I have never been more comfortable within my own vulnerability. She showed me tremendous respect, provided me with encouragement and helped me to build a safe foundation for my journey towards self-discovery and healing. The beauty of her approach is that even after our sessions come to an end, I am able to use the simple tools she shared with me, and the natural world, to continue the work we began together“
