About Anna

Anna Channon is an integrative relational counsellor with four years' client experience and a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She describes herself as someone who helps people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies. Many clients come with past trauma or ongoing low-level distress and want time to understand themselves and make changes.

Anna works with a wide range of issues. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement and loss, and the effects of sexual abuse. She also helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, sleeping and eating difficulties, and major life changes.

Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking, client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused methods. In practice that means listening closely, exploring how past relationships shape current feelings, and noticing how the body holds experience.

She often brings breath work, movement, nature and creative tasks into sessions. No artistic skill is needed - these activities are used to access felt experience and help people notice small shifts over time.

Anna is based in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. She is due to start maternity leave in early February 2025 and is currently taking only short to medium term commitments. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions about whether her way of working would suit them.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings now. Online conversations can help people trace these patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and agenda; this can help build trust and clarify what matters most in shorter or longer blocks of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate on what feels most useful, trying different ways of working and adjusting based on your needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining reflective talking with simple body-focused exercises or creative tasks agreed together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow for quieter, focused check-ins. It can also allow work that mixes talking with breath or movement exercises that suit your pace and home routine.
