About Anna

Anna Channon is a BACP counsellor who has worked with clients since 2020. She describes herself as an integrative relational counsellor and often supports people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies. Her practice is grounded in helping people understand what has happened to them so they can make different choices going forward.

She has experience with bereavement and loss, trauma and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression and stress. Anna also supports people facing life changes, fertility concerns and body image struggles. Her work frequently touches on attachment and relationship themes that show up across many areas of life.

Anna prefers to include breath work, movement, time in nature and creative exercises in sessions when helpful. These practices are used alongside talking to help people notice sensations, build self-awareness and try small changes. No artistic skill is needed to take part in creative tasks.

She trained to a degree level in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and has practiced for four years. Anna asks people to consider short or medium-term work if booking near her upcoming maternity leave beginning February 2025. Please check current options before arranging sessions.

Anna invites questions about how she works and the practicalities of sessions. People can discuss their needs and decide together whether her style feels like a good fit.

How Anna’s approaches can translate to online work

Anna draws on Attachment-Based and Trauma-Focused ways of working. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current feelings and relationships and can help with relationship issues and feelings of disconnection. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely processing earlier harms and on building coping skills for anxiety, grief and post-trauma reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anna will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and can shift as people try different ways of working together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow brief check-ins when a full in-person session is not possible. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often blend talking with body-focused exercises across online sessions to help people connect with sensations, breath and creative activities.
