About Alanna
Alanna Farrow helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with addictions, anger, career concerns and major life changes. Alanna uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.
Alanna has eight years of experience supporting people affected by cancer, including issues that arise during treatment and aftercare. She explains concerns plainly and encourages straightforward discussion about feelings and practical problems. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, using talking and practical exercises from CBT when that approach fits.
Her client-centred way means she aims to listen, reflect and help people clarify what they want to change. CBT is offered to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping. Together these approaches suit people who want to process grief, work on anxious thinking, or tackle patterns that hold them back.
Alanna also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life matters, isolation, life purpose, self-harm, self-love, social anxiety, and workplace difficulties. She blends empathy with straightforward techniques to help people notice small changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and Alanna accepts international clients. Before booking, clients should use the site matching process to confirm current session formats and costs.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on labels. The counsellor listens, reflects what is said and helps people identify what they want to change. This approach is often used for issues like relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem concerns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, social phobia and coping with change by using practical exercises and short tasks between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alanna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will choose a way of working that fits the client's needs and aims.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular sessions alongside everyday responsibilities.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
