Kanan Robinson, BACP

Kanan Robinson approaches therapy from a humanistic, client-led perspective and draws on a range of practical modalities to support people through difficult times. She became interested in how thinking and experience shape wellbeing after being the other side of the counselling relationship herself, and that personal insight inspired a professional path into mental health work.

Her training began with studies as an NLP practitioner and progressed to hypnotherapy and timeline therapy, each developed to Master level. She then completed four years of counselling training to refine how those techniques can be used safely and effectively within a therapeutic setting. These combined skills allow her to offer counselling alongside specific tools from NLP, hypnotherapy and timeline work when they suit a person’s goals.

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, Kanan is guided by the person sitting with her and aims to move at their pace. She believes people understand their own lives best and sees her role as companion and facilitator while individuals explore patterns, emotions and choices. Her practice includes support for depression, anxiety, low mood, stress, grief and bereavement, trauma, relationship difficulties, panic attacks, self-harm, abuse, low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts, as well as broader personal development.

Kanan holds the BACP credential, indicating affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in English and offers a therapy approach tailored to each person she meets.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kanan uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the person’s experiences and values lead the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening and supporting people to find their own solutions, and it can be helpful for issues such as low mood, relationship concerns and stress.

She also draws on NLP techniques and hypnotherapy as additional tools to complement counselling. NLP offers practical strategies for shifting unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, while hypnotherapy and timeline techniques can assist with managing strong emotional reactions and reframing past experiences when those methods feel appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kanan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kanan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists who can offer consistent guidance.
