Vanessa has seen me for approximately 10 years and has been nothing but kind, understanding, thoughtful when it comes to listening to my problems and incredibly knowledgeable with helping me understand how to process and proceed from them. In addition to this she relays personal advice and evidence based findings that I have always found insightful. A pleasure to be around and very good at what she does.

Vanessa is great! Really calm, friendly, compassionate and interested. Also, she can be very funny, which is brilliant since humour really helps me come out of my shell. If circumstances were different, I would love to have her as my friend :-)

Explanation

Dr Pilkington has changed my life. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember and have seen a range of health professionals and been on multiple medicines. I have now finally found someone who is able to help manage my disease. She is so easy to speak to and there is never any pressure to book more sessions. I see her as often as I need to and always feel better and back on track. I can't thank her enough for how strong I feel within myself. When I started going to her I was so ready to just give up on any type of councilling but she has put everything into perspective and helped me with some of the most overwhelming points of my anxiety. Not only is my general well-being and mental health much better, she has also provided me with the tools to spot when I am starting to struggle and help myself from getting any worse. Absolutely recommend anyone who needs help to seek out Dr Pilkington. It might change your life too.
