Alanna Farrow , BACP

Alanna Farrow is a UK-credentialed therapist with three years of professional practice and a longer history of support work. She also brings eight years of experience supporting people affected by cancer, which informs her sensitive approach to grief, loss and life transitions.

Alanna works with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and confidence, lack of motivation, and the emotional impact of serious illness. She supports clients facing bereavement, addiction, family and career challenges, and other personal changes that can feel overwhelming.

Holding the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Alanna focuses on creating an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. She emphasizes collaboration and respect, encouraging clients to take the first courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life while offering steady support throughout the process.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Alanna uses client-centered therapy to create an empathic and accepting space where clients lead the conversation and their experiences guide the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking emotional support, greater self-understanding, and a non-directive environment to process life challenges.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and building coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alanna works with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone let clients meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional ways to stay connected between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to tailor care to each person's life and circumstances.
