About Alanna
Alanna Farrow supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. She also helps with self-esteem, addictions, anger and navigating major life changes. Alanna is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience.
She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice. Alanna draws on simple, practical ways to make things feel more manageable. She listens first and helps clients name what matters most.
How Alanna works
Sessions focus on building skills to cope day to day while also looking at patterns that keep problems stuck. Her approach combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The Client-Centred element means conversations are led by the person’s experience and values.
CBT offers straightforward tools to notice thoughts and try different behaviours. She has particular experience supporting people affected by cancer and those dealing with end-of-life and hospice issues. Alanna also works with concerns such as attachment and communication difficulties, body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace problems.
Practical matters are discussed together, such as what format works best for sessions and how to set realistic goals. People are helped to take small, concrete steps toward feeling more in control and connected to their priorities.

Online support options
How Alanna’s approaches work online
Alanna uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people in practical ways. Client-Centred Therapy means conversations are guided by the person’s own experience and priorities, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood.Finding the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then tailor sessions to suit those needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether more listening-based work or structured CBT exercises will be most useful at any stage.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit into a lunch break, live chat is useful for real-time typed conversation, and messaging supports ongoing check-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, treatment schedules or caring responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical progress.
