Vanessa Putnam

I have evening weekday sessions available

Having worked in various environments, with neurodiverse individuals, whether children, young adults or adults. Over time, I have found that working in a flexible environment allows clients to feel they are given the time and space for themselves. This may include weekly sessions or working within the individual's financial means.

The underpinning of my work is person-centred. Throughout life, we will all encounter times when we need a space to be able to delve deeper into those challenges, confusion and distress, and to be able to be honest and open with our thoughts, feelings and emotions in a safe and confidential environment, whilst working within the Â鶹ԭ´´â€™s ethical framework, guidelines and polices.

I am a qualified counsellor, offering private online counselling. I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and adhere to the Â鶹ԭ´´ ethical framework.

I am experienced in working with adolescents and young people aged between 14 and 25, as well as adults. I like to create an online platform that is warm and welcoming, with a non-judgmental space to explore the reasons for you to seek out therapy at this moment in your life.

I work in a very calm, friendly manner, realising that everyone works in a different way, so we will work at your pace. Realising that finding the right therapist can be a journey in itself, and learning to trust a new person with your inner thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be scary. That's why I work at your pace. 

The first session I class as a meet and greet consultation, which will last for 20 minutes and is free. I ask that you contact me for this to be arranged.

The first session I class as an assessment session, during which we will discuss the reason you are coming to counselling, what your expectations are, and what you are hoping to gain. This is also the time to discuss session times, duration, fees, payments and expectations.
