About Anna
Anna Channon is a counsellor with four years of client experience. She trained to degree level in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and works with people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies. She often supports those who have experienced acute or ongoing trauma and who want to understand themselves better so they can make changes.
Anna uses a relational, integrative way of working. She combines talking with somatic ideas such as breath work, movement and creative activities. No artistic skill is needed to use creativity in sessions; the focus is on what helps the individual notice and name their experience.
Her practice covers a broad range of concerns. She has worked with bereavement and loss, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, stress and other life changes. Anna also pays attention to body-related issues like body image and the effects of chronic pain or illness.
Sessions tend to centre on building a trusting relationship and helping people reconnect with their bodily sense alongside their thoughts and feelings. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to shape conversations about connection and safety.
Before booking, people should note she will be starting maternity leave in February 2025 and is therefore offering short to medium term work only. She welcomes questions about how a particular concern might be worked with and how breath, movement or creativity could be included.
How Anna’s approaches translate to online therapy
Anna draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space so people can share at their own pace; it can help with anxiety, depression and self-esteem. Attachment-Based approaches look at patterns of relating and how early connections shape current relationships, which can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining talking with breath or movement practices online, and adapting techniques as the relationship develops.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family and work, avoid travel time and allow check-ins from different places. Some tasks, such as short breath exercises or creativity prompts, can adapt well to remote sessions, while others may be altered to suit the way someone prefers to connect.
