About Alanna
Alanna Farrow helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing addiction, anger, career strain and life changes. Alanna works with people affected by cancer and with a wide range of concerns such as body image, isolation and workplace issues.
She is presented as a BACP professional with three years of professional experience in the UK. Her approach is warm and straightforward.
Background and approach
Alanna aims to make sessions feel like a calm space to talk without judgement. She listens closely and encourages people to speak honestly about what is difficult for them. Alanna uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, adapting conversations to each person’s needs.
In practice this means she follows what matters most to the client and also offers practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She has particular experience supporting people affected by cancer, built over eight years of involvement in that area. This background shapes how she talks about loss, illness, and end-of-life concerns alongside grief and hospice matters.
People who choose to work with Alanna can expect steady, compassionate support and clear, manageable steps between sessions. She encourages small changes that fit day-to-day life and helps people find clearer direction and more reliable coping strategies.

How Alanna works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves practical exercises and small changes that can reduce anxiety, depression and unhelpful behaviour patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alanna aims to agree with each person which methods to use based on their goals, worries and preferences. She treats the process as a collaboration and may combine listening-led sessions with structured CBT techniques.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist when you match to find the way of working that suits your routine and technical needs best.
