About Alanna
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional experience, Alanna Farrow focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also supports people experiencing addictions, family conflict, anger, workplace issues and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Alanna has eight years of experience supporting people affected by cancer and brings that background into work around illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns. She uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people understand patterns of thought and feeling. In practice this means listening, reflecting, and working together to try different ways of thinking and coping.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what matters to the person, and small steps that can be tried between sessions. She pays attention to relationship dynamics, attachment issues and communication problems when they are relevant.
Alanna helps people address body image, guilt and shame, isolation, social anxiety and self-harm thoughts with clear techniques from CBT alongside a person-led, Client-Centred stance. Sessions may also cover career questions, life purpose and difficulties that follow separation or bereavement.
People who work with her can expect brief goal-setting, practical coping strategies and regular review of progress. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy in her work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead, helping them talk through what matters most. This approach suits people who want space to explore feelings and relationships with someone who reflects back what they say.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, low mood and unhelpful reactions to life events, and it includes homework tasks and skills practice between sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods and check in regularly to see if the approach is working and needs adjustment.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery types. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. They also let people work from different locations and reduce disruption around work or family commitments.
