Alanna Farrow, BACP

Alanna Farrow is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She also helps with depression, addictions, anger and challenges linked to life changes and career pressures. Alanna aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or unsure.

She has three years of professional experience and a background supporting people affected by cancer for eight years. That experience informs her approach to hospice and end-of-life concerns and to the practical and emotional effects of serious illness.

Alanna uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, working with thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood in day-to-day life.

Sessions focus on what the client wants to change. Conversations are practical and grounded, with simple strategies to cope with stress, manage emotions, and improve communication. The therapist helps people set realistic steps and reflect on progress between meetings.

People who come for support often bring concerns about family problems, body image, attachment or workplace stress. Alanna aims to help clients find clearer priorities and rebuild confidence so they can move forward with more control and purpose.

How therapy approaches shape online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects what they hear. This approach helps people who need to talk through emotions, grief or relationship worries and want someone to mirror their experience without judgement.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and testing small behavioural changes. It is practical and often used for anxiety, low mood and social worry, with clear exercises to use between sessions.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, daily routines and preferences, then suggest which approach or combination might fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to keep continuity when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical needs while focusing on your goals.
