About Alanna
Alanna Farrow is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation problems and issues related to addiction and anger. She is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience, plus eight years supporting people affected by cancer.
Alanna aims to make sessions feel straightforward and calm. She creates space for clients to share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Her style is warm and listening-led, focused on what each person needs in the moment.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation centred on the client's experience. That means she follows what matters to the person in the room and helps them find their own way forward. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and what practical steps can ease distress.
Alanna works with people through life changes, bereavement, workplace strain and family issues. She often helps with communication problems, attachment concerns and body image worries. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, more useful coping strategies and steadier day-to-day routines.
Her approach is collaborative. She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life. If someone wants to begin, she guides them through initial steps and supports them as goals change over time.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience first and focuses on being heard and understood. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person explore their own solutions. This approach can be useful when someone needs support through grief, family problems or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and how they affect mood. It typically involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new ideas and practising small behavioural changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, social fears and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about aims and preferences and suggest methods that suit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking to confirm what formats are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit quieter or lower-bandwidth situations rather than longer in-person appointments.
