About Kanan
Kanan Robinson is a counsellor who came to the work through her own experience of therapy. She trained in counselling after studying related methods such as NLP, hypnotherapy and timeline therapy, and she now combines those tools with a humanistic counselling approach. She holds a BACP credential and practises in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what matters to them.
Robinson describes her style as humanistic and client-centred, so sessions are led by the person attending and progress moves at their pace. She uses NLP, hypnotherapy and timeline techniques alongside counselling when these feel helpful, and adapts the mix to suit each person’s needs. That means conversations can include reflective listening, practical exercises and guided techniques when agreed.
Common concerns she supports include stress and anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship and family difficulties. She also works with issues such as panic attacks, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and life changes like divorce and bereavement. Additional focus areas include workplace stress, isolation and questions about life purpose.
With three years' experience, Robinson frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, identifying helpful changes, and practising small steps that build confidence. The aim is to help people feel clearer about next steps and better able to cope day to day.

How client-centred therapy adapts to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s lead, so the therapist creates space for the client to talk through problems and decide what to focus on. This approach is helpful for worries such as anxiety, low mood, relationship and family concerns because it centres on the person’s experience and priorities.The counsellor also draws on NLP and hypnotherapy techniques as optional tools. NLP offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, while hypnotherapy and timeline methods provide guided approaches to work through memories or unhelpful responses when the client is comfortable trying them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and agree what feels most useful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they match how the person wants to proceed.
Practical benefits of doing therapy online include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life and fewer travel needs. Online ways of meeting can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to use short check-ins when time is limited. Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how the therapist is currently conducting sessions.
