Alanna Farrow, BACP

Alanna Farrow is a therapist credentialed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, and she brings three years of professional therapeutic experience. She also has eight years of experience supporting people affected by cancer, which informs her sensitive approach to grief, loss, and life-limiting illness.

Alanna works with clients on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, self-esteem and confidence, addictions, anger, career and workplace challenges, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses attachment difficulties, body image, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Using Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods, she tailors support to individual needs and goals.

In sessions Alanna aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She frames the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey, helping clients take practical steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling relationships. Taking the first step toward change takes courage, and Alanna offers steady support for people ready to make that move.

Client-Centered and CBT approaches for online therapy

Alanna draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance so clients can explore their feelings, strengthen self-awareness, and find their own solutions - it often helps with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship problems, grief, and life transitions.

CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Through collaborative work, clients learn skills to manage anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking patterns, and everyday stressors, and can apply these skills between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Alanna works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the person in front of her.

Online therapy with Alanna is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and time zones. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or while traveling and to continue therapy during busy life phases.
