About Alanna

Alanna Farrow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, motivation struggles and issues linked to body image and addiction. She describes a warm, non-judgemental approach and encourages people to take the first step towards a more fulfilling life.

With three years of professional experience and additional background supporting people affected by cancer for eight years, Alanna blends practical conversation with careful listening. She aims to build a calm space where feelings can be named and understood. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, manageable goals.

Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means the person’s experience guides the pace and focus of the sessions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and coping. Together these ways of working help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Alanna pays attention to attachment and communication patterns, and she supports people through big life changes such as divorce, bereavement or a cancer journey. She can help with workplace issues, loneliness, guilt, and finding purpose after loss.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward conversation, practical steps between sessions and steady support while trying things differently. She encourages anyone feeling stuck to reach out and explore what might help next.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and follows their pace. It helps when someone needs a listening space to make sense of feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and coping. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems people want to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That way the plan can be adapted as progress is made and new needs appear.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups that keep momentum between in-person meetings. They can also make shorter check-ins possible when a quick conversation is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose the mix of session types that suits your life and goals.
