About Kanan
Kanan Robinson works on stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse using client-centred counselling and related tools. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience as a counsellor.
Kanan explains that her own experience of counselling led her to study how thinking affects feelings. She trained in a range of complementary methods and then completed four years of counselling training. Her client-centred approach places the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions.
Sessions are led by the person seeking help. Kanan listens and follows the issues the client brings. She also offers techniques drawn from NLP, hypnotherapy and timeline work as additional options to try together when they might help.
Her practice covers common issues such as low mood, panic attacks, grief and bereavement, trauma, self-harm and relationship problems. She also works with eating and sleep problems, parenting concerns, workplace difficulties, and life changes including divorce and cancer-related distress.
Kanan describes herself as a humanistic integrative counsellor who aims to move at the client’s pace. Initial meetings are used to identify what the client wants to focus on and to decide which approaches might be most useful.
People who want to talk through control issues, isolation and finding purpose can bring those concerns. Kanan works in English and practises in the United Kingdom, with details about sessions and costs provided when booking.
How Kanan uses client-centred methods with online counselling
Kanan uses client-centred therapy which focuses on what the person brings to sessions and follows their pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a listening, person-led space to talk through feelings such as low mood, anxiety or relationship concerns.
She also draws on techniques from NLP and hypnotherapy as options to try together. These offer practical strategies and exercises that some people find helpful for issues like control problems, eating and sleep difficulties, or managing panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and work with the client to decide which methods to use. Plans can change as therapy progresses, and choices are made together based on what feels useful.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. If you need clarity about which session formats Kanan provides, please confirm the available options before booking so you can choose what suits your routine and goals.
