About Anna

Anna Channon works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career concerns, depression and other life changes using an integrative relational approach. She draws on attachment-based, client-centred, psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas and uses body-informed practices such as breath work and creative tasks when helpful. Anna is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' client work experience.

Anna trained to degree level in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and has been working with people since 2020. Her work tends to suit those who feel disconnected from themselves or their bodies, including people who have experienced acute or ongoing trauma. She offers short and medium-term work for clients preparing for a period of maternity leave in early 2025.

Sessions often include talking alongside practical, body-based activities. Breath work, gentle movement and creative tasks may be suggested to help people notice feelings and patterns in a different way. No artistic skill is required to use these approaches.

Anna also brings discussion of attachment and relationship patterns into the room, helping people look at how past experiences influence current responses. Psychodynamic ideas can help make sense of repeated patterns and emotional responses.

People find that combining talking with simple bodily or creative practices can make difficult material easier to access and work with. Anna welcomes questions about how a first session might look and about which parts of her approach would fit a person's concerns.

How Anna uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Anna often draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help with connection issues, abandonment worries and repeated relationship problems by tracing familiar responses and their origins.

She also uses client-centred ideas, which focus on listening and following the person's concerns. This approach supports straightforward, person-led conversations about feelings, choices and what matters now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the person based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and can change as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of remote sessions should be checked before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the exact session options available when you arrange the first appointment to confirm what will suit your circumstances.
