About Kanan
Kanan Robinson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred approach to help people talk through difficult feelings and life events. Kanan holds BACP registration, which appears in her credentials as BACP.
She works online using a range of session formats. Kanan came to counselling after experiencing the benefits of having someone to listen without judgement. That early experience prompted her to learn how thinking and behaviour can change.
How Kanan works
She studied counselling over several years and combines that training with other therapeutic methods she has practised. In sessions she focuses on what each person brings, using listening and careful questioning to help people identify what matters most to them. She invites practical techniques when useful, and adapts her work to the goals and pace the client sets.
Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem and trauma-related issues. Kanan also offers help with eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, workplace difficulties and coping with life changes such as separation or illness. Additional focus areas include panic attacks, social anxiety, self-harm and exploring life purpose for young adults.
Her style is steady and collaborative. She aims to create an atmosphere where people feel heard and can try approaches that suit their needs. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that fit their schedule.

Online support options
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people lead the direction of their sessions. It suits worries such as anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and struggles with self-esteem by letting people explore issues at their own pace and in their own words.Kanan adapts those principles to online settings by following what each person needs and offering techniques when they feel helpful. She will work collaboratively to decide what approach fits best based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. Finding the right way of working is part of the process and the therapist will help make adjustments as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging allows flexible, ongoing contact between booked sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and coping strategies.
