Anna Channon, BACP

Anna Channon is an integrative relational counsellor with four years of client-facing experience and a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She holds the BACP credential - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has been working with clients since 2020. Her practice centres on helping people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies, especially those who have experienced acute or low-level trauma and are ready to invest time in understanding and changing old patterns.

She works with a broad range of concerns including bereavement and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, life changes and sexual abuse. Anna often brings breath work, body awareness, movement, time in nature and creative activities into sessions to support insight and healing - no artistic talent is required. She believes the mind and body are closely linked and that tapping into the body’s wisdom can complement talking-based exploration.

Please note she is due to go on maternity leave at the start of February 2025 and can therefore only accept clients seeking short or medium term work. Prospective clients are invited to get in touch with any questions - she is happy to discuss how they might work together.

Approaches to Healing Online - Attachment, Person-Centred and Trauma Work

Anna draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand difficulties with abandonment, connection and relationship dynamics and supports developing more secure ways of relating. Client-centred therapy offers a compassionate, non-directive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to deepen self-understanding and build self-esteem and resilience. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on gently addressing the impact of traumatic events, helping clients process memories and reduce their ongoing emotional burden.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anna works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus over time so therapy feels practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy with Anna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it possible to access skilled, licensed professionals and therapists from wherever a client is based, supporting continuity of care and easier scheduling around work, family and other commitments.
