About Alanna
Alanna Farrow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She also helps with self-esteem, depression, workplace issues and coping with life changes. Alanna holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of professional practice to her work.
She has particular experience supporting people affected by cancer, gathered over eight years of related work. That background informs how she listens to concerns about illness, loss and end-of-life matters. Alanna aims to make space for emotions and practical worries that come with serious health events.
Alanna uses a warm, accepting style in sessions. She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small steps that can be taken between meetings.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means sessions balance open listening with practical thinking-shifts and coping strategies. Clients can expect a mix of reflective dialogue and simple exercises to try out in daily life.
People looking for help with career strain, addictions, family problems or social anxiety can bring those concerns to sessions. Alanna supports people through divorce and separation, grief, and questions about life purpose. She encourages clear goals and steady progress tailored to each person.
How her approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel heard. This approach can help when someone needs space to talk about loss, relationship worry or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on practical thinking and behaviour. It breaks problems into manageable steps and offers simple exercises to try between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress at work.
Finding the right fit is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and suggest whether a person-centred emphasis or more CBT work might suit. That plan can change as the work develops and as different issues come up.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy day, avoid travel, and move between appointments when life is hectic. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better suits someone’s routine.
