Vanna Barca

Monday to Friday 

I am a registered BACP psychodynamic counsellor, trained at The Manor House Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling. I hold a Certificate in Couple Counselling and Psychotherapy from Tavistock Relationship, along with Counselling courses at Birkbeck University and Highgate Counselling Centre.

I offer a caring, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood. I support patients dealing with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, family or relationship conflicts, loss, and both recent and past trauma.

Sometimes, life can be very difficult, overwhelming, or uncertain. When we feel stuck or caught in unproductive behaviours, we often think there are no options or that change can't happen, which can lead us to accept our circumstances and suffer in silence. I believe that understanding our authentic selves more deeply can help us live more genuinely. By examining and discussing the reasons behind our actions, we can begin to take control, boost our self-awareness, and enrich our overall quality of life.

Counselling provides a safe space for people to share feelings and explore causes of their struggles. Expressing experiences can lead to new insights. With my experience, knowledge, and presence, I will listen carefully and work with you to find a way forward.

I'll guide you through exploring how your unconscious mind, hidden emotions, and early childhood experiences shape who you are today. Rather than addressing only surface-level symptoms, I'll support you in uncovering the root causes of your struggles and help you make meaningful, lasting changes.

Helping you develop confidence in your personal experiences. Together, we'll examine the origins of your challenges, leading you to greater insight and growth.

I am honoured to assist my patients in gaining a clearer understanding of themselves, boosting their well-being, and improving their relationships with others and themselves. Witnessing their authentic, transformative progress is endlessly fulfilling.

Our initial two sessions are an opportunity to meet and familiarise ourselves. During this period, you'll decide if I am the right fit for you, while I learn about your life and goals to see how I can help. Feel free to ask questions, which will also give you an idea of what to expect from our therapy sessions.
