Alanna Farrow

Alanna Farrow is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and changes such as separation. She supports those facing low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, and workplace or career pressures. Her approach aims to make the first step to asking for support feel a little easier.

She draws on three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She has eight years of experience supporting people affected by cancer and often meets clients who are juggling health worries alongside everyday challenges.

In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through thoughts and feelings. Conversation is encouraged to be straightforward and honest, so people can better understand what they want and what gets in the way. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Alanna aims to work collaboratively, helping clients set small, realistic goals and try things between sessions. She is comfortable addressing issues such as attachment, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and self-harm thoughts when these come up in sessions.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English. People considering therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that suits them.

How Alanna’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the counsellor reflects your concerns, asks about your priorities and adjusts the pace to suit you. It suits people who need a supportive, accepting space to think things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and practical coping during life changes such as separation.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm what session formats are currently offered before you book, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue support if life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together what works best.
