Vanessa Price Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist
About Me
I’m Vanessa. I hold a compassionate and attuned space where the parts of you that have long felt unseen or unheard can be met with understanding. This is a place to pause, listen inward, and reconnect with the wisdom and authenticity that have always been within you.
With over twenty years’ experience in mental health and community settings, I’ve walked alongside adults through transitions, burnout, relational or attachment challenges, subtle forms of trauma, and the quieter forms of distress that often arise in deeply perceptive people. What continues to be one of the greatest joys of this work is witnessing clients release the masks they’ve worn and meet themselves with honesty, curiosity, and care.
Beyond the therapy room, I am nourished by nature, creative expression, and the companionship of animals — simple, living rhythms that shape the way I move through the world, and quietly inform the way I hold space for others.
A Gentle space to be truly seen
Some people feel deeply.
Some move through the world with heightened sensitivity, awareness, or care.
Some carry quiet layers of responsibility, attunement, or emotional labour that rarely have space to land.
This is a space for you.
I offer psychological therapy that is relational, spacious, and deeply respectful of your inner world. This work is not about fixing or pushing change. It is about slowing down enough to listen, to understand what has shaped you, and to meet yourself with kindness.
Many of the people who find their way here are highly sensitive, neurodivergent, creative, or work in helping and caregiving roles. Others simply know they want something gentler than traditional therapy — a space where they don’t have to explain themselves, allowing the masks they’ve had to wear to finally rest.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
How I work
My work is grounded in warmth, presence, and relationship.
I am trained in a range of evidence-based therapies, but the way I practice now is guided primarily by Internal Family Systems (IFS).
IFS is a gentle, non-pathologising approach that understands us as having many inner parts — parts that protect, parts that carry pain, and a deeper, steady wisdom beneath it all. In this work, nothing is forced or analysed away. We move with care, allowing understanding and healing to emerge in their own time.
Our work together grows from your lived experience. We listen to what wants attention, what feels tender, and what is ready to be met. Together, we explore the patterns and inner experiences that have shaped your life, strengthen your connection with your own inner wisdom, and support you in living in ways that feel more aligned and true.
Here, you are welcome just as you are. A place to arrive fully, rest into yourself, and simply be, without masks or judgement.
Who this space often suits
While this space is open to anyone drawn to this way of working, it often resonates with:
Highly sensitive and perceptive people
Neurodivergent people (with or without a diagnosis)
Creatives and deep thinkers
People in helping or caring professions experiencing burnout or compassion fatigue
People interested in deep self-exploration, including spiritual growth
You don’t need to fit a label or diagnosis to be here. If you’re seeking depth, gentleness, and genuine understanding, you’re welcome.
