Hello, I’m Vanessa.

I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist, and Soul Plan practitioner based in Berkhamsted. My work brings together psychological understanding and spiritual exploration, offering a grounded space for people who are navigating change, questioning their path, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves.

My journey into this work began through my own period of crisis in my early 40s. During that time, I experienced a breakdown that led to hospitalisation and the beginning of a long process of therapy and self-exploration. For a while, I felt disconnected from myself and unsure how to move forward. Gradually, through therapeutic work and inner reflection, I began to understand the patterns that had shaped my life and reconnect with parts of myself that had been pushed aside.

That experience taught me something important: meaningful change happens through patience, honesty, and support. It also showed me the value of having someone alongside you while you navigate difficult terrain.

Today, I hold that same kind of space for others.

My professional background began in psychology and healthcare. Over the years I’ve worked across a range of settings including learning disability services, secure psychiatric hospitals, addiction services, prisons, and community care. I later moved into private healthcare, supporting quality management within a fertility team and working closely with NHS-private sector partnerships.

Alongside this professional work, my interest in the deeper questions of meaning and purpose continued to grow. This eventually led me to train with the Holistic Healing College, where I completed diplomas in Integrative Psychotherapy, Spiritual Counselling, Hypnotherapy, and Soul Plan Reading.

Today my work sits at the meeting point between psychological insight and spiritual curiosity. Some people come seeking emotional support and therapeutic work. Others arrive through Soul Plan readings or guided meditative journeys such as Going Beyond the Veil. Whatever brings someone here, the focus is always the same: creating a calm, reflective space where deeper understanding can emerge.
