Alanna Farrow

Alanna Farrow is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loneliness. She supports those struggling with low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems and life changes. People also seek her help for workplace strain, addictions, anger and questions about life purpose.

Alanna trained and works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has three years of professional counselling experience and eight years supporting people affected by cancer. That combination has shaped her practical, steady approach to difficult moments.

Sessions are warm and non-judgemental. Alanna aims to make it easy to talk about painful feelings and awkward subjects. She listens closely and helps people notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour that make day-to-day life harder.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to put the person’s experience at the heart of each session. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on small changes in thinking and routine to reduce distress. Together these approaches are used to build realistic steps forward.

People who come for support can expect a calm, practical style. Alanna works with clients to set clear goals and try things between sessions. The emphasis is on manageable changes that fit into everyday life, not sudden overhauls.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Alanna uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s own experience. This approach means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client. It is useful for people who need space to make sense of feelings and to be heard.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks larger problems into manageable steps. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and social worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor works with each person to decide which techniques feel most helpful, and adapts the mix over time based on progress and preferences.

Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to meet from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or less screen time. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical arrangements so sessions slot into everyday life.
