Working with Vanessa through Access to Work has been a game changer. She’s approachable, straight talking, and professional - no fluff, just real understanding. What I’ve valued most is her practical grasp of ADHD, both in business and everyday life, and her ability to create simple systems that actually work!

In just a few sessions, we’ve covered so much that’s already reduced my overwhelm and decision fatigue. I’m seeing calmer days, smoother client management, and more headspace to focus on my business future.

If you want realistic, sustainable strategies delivered with empathy and accountability, I can’t recommend Vanessa enough. She’s genuinely helped me shift my mindset and find clear direction in how I run my business - life changing actually, and that is not an exaggeration!

Working with Vanessa has been life-changing as an individual with ADHD. She created a space where I felt genuinely safe to unmask, which allowed me to realise just how much I had been people-pleasing for years. Her gentle, strengths-based approach helped me rebuild my confidence and trust in myself. When we started, I didn’t believe I could do certain things, and by the end, I was doing them. I’m so grateful for her support, and I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for compassionate and empowering ADHD coaching.

I have been supported for the last 6-7 years, and it has changed my life, without the honest, caring and productive therapy I have had I don’t know who I would be. I have been able to heal, speak my inner thoughts that I would never have shared with friends or family and feel understood. It’s not just speaking about how you feel. It’s digging out things you’d never thought of and finding productive ways to improve and heal. I highly recommend

Engaging in coaching with Vanessa is single handedly the most worthwhile investment in myself that I’ve ever made. The sessions were so well planned, as were the tasks I’d undertake in between times. I felt I was able to be my complete self throughout and Vanessa has helped me live a life that is truer to my values and I can see the impact this is having in such a positive way. Hoping to continue sessions for the long term!

I am so incredibly grateful for Vanessa at Changes4 Life for helping to continue my difficult journey with Charlotte, having already started it with her! Thank you Vanessa.
Changes 4 Life offer a safe a relaxing environment to help with life's ups and downs.

Charlotte has a lovely calming nature which I found extremely helpful and totally at ease with, when deciphering my difficulties. Since I have been working with Charlotte for about 8-9 months now, I have been going from strength to strength.

Charlotte is thorough in all that she works on as well as has many strengths; one of these is a knack of letting you talk then guides you slightly sideways showing the situation from a unique perspective. This method I have found extremely effective. Charlotte has guided me through some very dark times, along the way, and, utilizing her exceptional help and guidance, I am now in a better place.

I am now finding situations where I am starting to do things which stop me from going down wrong paths-without thinking! Charlotte has ‘taught’ me well!

Charlotte has helped me through an exceedingly challenging time in my life, and I have learned a lot about how to live it and how Charlotte has made it better. Thank you Charlotte.

I highly recommend Changes4life and in particular my therapist Natalie. She created a confidential welcoming space in which I was able to work through a difficult life event. During our time together, Natalie’s empathy, care and professional expertise helped me to personally deal with this event, and develop a better understanding of myself which has since helped me to better ride the wave of life’s natural ups and downs.
I have also been inspired by Natalie to train to become a counselor myself, because it really does work!

After only 3 sessions with Vanessa, things are moving in a very positive direction - with her help I have definitely turned a corner! Our conversations are changing my perspective and helping boost my confidence. I'm letting go of old habits and adopting healthier ones.

Three specific examples:
a) My desk stays clear every day.
b) I caught up on five months of expense claims and I'm current for this month - what a relief!
c) My communication skills are improving as I become more mindful of my words.

My wife has also commented on how good and effective Vanessa is, and she can see - and enjoy the benefits.
Vanessa, thank you!

For those looking for ADHD support, I strongly recommend Vanessa. Through her ADHD coaching practice, she offers a calm, compassionate, and generous presence that naturally invites self-reflection. In this comforting environment, new ideas emerge effortlessly, leading to tangible progress through concrete strategies.

fantastic service really helped me through some challenging times, Vanessa is incredible made me feel very comfortable and really gave me the tools and information I needed to start making some better choices

Nathan Chapman

Working with Vanessa was a really fantastic experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable, understanding and passionate about mental health. She also has excellent knowledge of ADHD and can help those struggling with ADHD to help manager their day-to day-symptoms.

She was able to be completely flexible with how she worked, completely giving me freedom in how I wanted therapy to be structured and the topics I wanted to discuss. She was able to easily swap between a therapeutic approach, exploring trauma or relationship issues, or a coaching approach offering practical strategies to help with day to day life.

Throughout our time working together, Vanessa was always very compassionate and warm. She was always engaged showing a genuine and caring approach which helped create a safe place where I felt comfortable talking about difficult personal topics

I can't thank her enough for the time we spent together and would thoroughly recommend her to anybody who would like to learn more about themselves, improve their mental health and learn practical strategies to help them with day to day life.
