Anna Channon, BACP

Anna Channon is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years of client work and a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She focuses on helping people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies, often after traumatic experiences. She often uses breathing, movement and creativity in sessions to help people reconnect and find new ways to cope.

Anna offers short to medium-term work for people ready to make changes and learn more about their patterns. She has experience supporting people through bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, stress and life changes. She also works with those who have experienced sexual abuse and other forms of trauma.

Her style is relational and integrative. Sessions centre on building understanding through open conversation, noticing bodily responses and practising simple breath and movement techniques. Creativity may be used to surface feelings when words are hard to find and to widen how people relate to themselves.

Anna describes her approach as collaborative. She aims to help people spot patterns that keep them stuck and to try new ways of responding. Work might include talking, noticing sensations, gentle breath exercises, or small creative tasks to do between sessions.

She works in English and accepts international clients. If someone is unsure whether she is the right person to work with, Anna welcomes a message to discuss hopes for therapy and how she might help.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Anna draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or unstable relationships by tracing patterns and finding kinder ways to connect.

She also uses client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. This means listening without judgement, reflecting what comes up, and letting the pace be set by the client to build understanding and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as things change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and removing travel time so therapy can be easier to attend. Online work can also make it simpler to try shorter check-ins or to combine talking with guided breath or movement exercises during a session.
