About Kanan
Kanan Robinson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who came to the profession through her own experience of therapy. She says that having had a counsellor on the other side helped her see the value in being heard without judgement. Kanan works from a humanistic, client-led perspective and brings additional tools alongside counselling when appropriate.
She trained in counselling over four years and also completed practitioner and master-level work in related approaches.
Background and approach
Kanan describes these as extra resources she can offer clients, inviting them to try techniques that might suit their goals. She focuses on helping people identify and work through the issues that matter to them.
Typical topics she supports include stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, panic and self-harm, and difficulties with self-esteem. She also lists workplace issues, eating and sleep problems, parenting challenges and life transitions among her focus areas. Kanan uses a humanistic integrative style, meaning the client’s pace and priorities guide the work.
Sessions are tailored by combining counselling with other methods when helpful, so the approach will look different for each person. She aims to be a steady companion as people work through the feelings and experiences they bring. Her registration is with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are held in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

How Kanan works online
She also integrates techniques from other approaches as appropriate, offering tools that people can try alongside talking therapy. These techniques are invited rather than imposed and are chosen to match what a person wants to achieve.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree how to proceed. Sessions are adjusted over time if something is not helping, so the plan evolves with the client’s progress.
If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. The practical advantages of online work include fitting appointments into a busy schedule, saving travel time and making it easier to keep shorter check-ins between commitments. Some people also prefer formats that do not require video for a quicker or lower-bandwidth conversation. These practicalities will be discussed and arranged to suit your everyday life.
