Hounslow Counselling

I'm so thankful that Ness was recommended to me by a friend! I only have high praise for her and I'm incredibly grateful I went to see her. I knew I needed to deal with some painful things and was considering a vocational change at the time, and then Ness helped me navigate through an unexpected & difficult season of health challenges and life circumstances changing. Ness is a brilliant listener, so good at hearing what I'm trying to say but not quite knowing how to do it... read more

"I approached Ness, having read some previous testimonials, to deal with an anger issue following some very sad events in our family. In my opinion she is a superb counsellor. She listened, understood and gave me some techniques that have been very successful in dealing with both the original issue and other matters that had not come to the surface when I first met her. She was not afraid to change the focus of a session depending on what I was saying. It was all done on Zoom but that did not... read more

Vanessa was very empathetic and non-judgement in her approach, being able to provide the support I was looking for. She was able to give a lot of information from which I was able to make positive and practical changes to my daily life, helping improve my overall mental wellbeing.

I'm feeling so much better as I'm able to identify why I feel a particular way and how to kindly address that part of myself. I feel less fearful and more in control of myself in a healthy way.

Thank you so much for all of your help throughout this journey - I am very grateful for your insight and guidance!

I have been seeing Ness for 5 months and this has been my first experience of personal therapy. I came to the early sessions not sure about what to expect but from the first session I have been on a journey with Ness that has been an amazing and rewarding one. I have found the sessions invaluable. The open, honest and supportive environment has enabled me to discover how to overcome anxieties and challenges in my life; that I have choices and I am actually able to make these... read more

I engaged in long term counselling with Ness which provided me with hope and structure. It was my anchor. Ness was supportive, reliable and transparent, and was always fully present with me in our sessions together. She always had a useful therapeutic intervention to help me gain clarity and work through issues. Counselling has lead me to self-acceptance and self-belief. I can now say, I am good enough. It has helped me to become stronger and more secure within myself. I have increased... read more

During a difficult time of change, I found my regular counselling sessions with Ness a safe environment to explore my experiences, feelings and responses giving me opportunity to find a way through my challenges. I found the counselling sessions an appropriate place to identify and articulate my pain and fears, with Ness supporting me, both emotionally and spiritually, as I looked for a positive way forward. Ness listens with empathy, helps identify options with gentleness and supports... read more

I have participated in more or less weekly counselling sessions for the last 5 months following a difficult year leaving myself and other family members struggling with aspects of anxiety and depression causing me to feel overwhelmed and uncertain. From the first session, I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable and throughout our sessions together, we discussed and explored a wide variety of topics and at no point did I feel judged – in fact I was reassured and frequently validated... read more

"I would like to thank you for the invaluable help, knowledge and strength your counselling sessions gave me. As someone who was hesitant to take part at first I couldn't have been more amazed at what a difference meeting and talking to you made. I thought it would be awkward and uncomfortable but I was made to feel at ease and very welcome from the start. Over the weeks as we got to know and trust each other I really opened up and could talk about a wide range of issues and feelings.... read more
