Meet Vanessa Macey
Vanessa is a humanistic therapist who draws on psychodynamic approaches when working with clients with a history of childhood neglect or trauma to short term approaches such as CBT and mindfulness. She is trauma informed and is aware of the IFS language which she finds particularly useful when working with clients who find themselves triggered in the present by issues that have underlying roots in the past.
She has experience working with a diverse range of clients from varying cultural backgrounds and sexual associations. She endeavours to hold an open, compassionate and non- judgemental space, regardless of her clients presentations, previous experiences or life decisions.
Having spent long periods in silent Vipassana meditation, practicing the art of mindfulness, and learning to acknowledge and trust whatever is ready to surface from the consciousness.

Favourite quote: “Compassion is the love that recognizes and goes forth to identify with the preciousness of all that is lost and broken within ourselves and others” – James Finley
