New CLients

Vanessa’s books are now closed and she is no longer accepting  new clients.   This is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.  However, if you are a former client wanting to return, you can ask to go on a wait list.  Currently, former clients are waiting a minimum of  2-months . However, it might be substantially longer and we’re  not able to say how long it will take before an appointment becomes available.   In the meantime, we strongly encourage former clients to explore a range of  support options  if they do decide to wait for an appointment.

Prices listed below are for new clients and are subject to change.
