About Alanna
Alanna Farrow is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people with depression, addictions, anger and career or life change concerns. Her tone is steady and practical, aimed at people who want straightforward help.
Alanna works to create an open space where clients can talk through what feels hard without fear of judgement. She uses a person-centred approach to follow each person's priorities, and she also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. Sessions focus on small, useful changes that fit daily life.
She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, and she has supported people affected by cancer for eight years. That experience informs her work with grief, serious illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns as well as practical coping around treatment and diagnosis.
Alanna pays attention to communication problems, attachment concerns and issues like body image and social anxiety. She also helps people manage workplace stress, life transitions, and feelings of isolation or guilt.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. The emphasis is on listening first, then trying approachable strategies together. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step when they feel ready.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Alanna uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, creating space to be heard and to set priorities for change. That approach helps with emotional concerns like grief, low self-worth and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used alongside this to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical strategies for anxiety, depression and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Alanna will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is collaborative - listening first, then trying techniques together to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the provided profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, appointments or caregiving, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins or when video is not possible, while others suit a full therapeutic session; discuss what will work best when you arrange your first appointment.
