    Look up ssh tunneling

    Have you already installed Openssh server on the remote server you want to access using terminal ?

    You could, in theory, tunnel a vnc connection over ssh. Though it's easier and faster to have individual programs connect back using X11-tunneling if you only plan on using one or two programs (it would be a bit wasteful on both speed and remote resources to tunnel a whole desktop for 1 program).
