About Anna
Anna Channon is a relational counsellor with a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and four years of client experience. She works with people who feel cut off from themselves and their bodies. Her practice often suits those ready to understand themselves better and make changes.
Anna has supported people through bereavement and loss, trauma and sexual abuse, anxiety and depression, and major life changes. She also helps with stress, relationship concerns, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career worries.
How Anna works
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and fertility concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and communication and control problems. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking alongside client-centred and trauma-focused work. Sessions may include talking, breath work, simple movement, time in nature or creative tasks as ways to connect with the body and feelings.
No artistic skill is needed for creative exercises. Anna sees the links between body and mind and uses practical, gentle methods to bring those together. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s own experience shapes the pace and content of sessions.
This helps people build clearer self-understanding and small, manageable changes. She works with clients in English and accepts international referrals. Note that Anna plans to begin maternity leave at the start of February 2025 and is therefore available only for short to medium term work at present.

How Anna's approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions use gentle discussion and reflective exercises to help people notice patterns in relationships and form healthier emotional responses. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the person's pace, and helps them find their own solutions and insights.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Anna will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques, such as breath work or creative tasks, and adjusting the approach as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual contact. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for regular check-ins or when messaging feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep sessions consistent and to use therapeutic tools between meetings.
