About Anna

Anna Channon is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of client work. She works with people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies, often after acute or low-level trauma. Anna supports those facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strains, career questions and other life changes.

Her training is a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and she has been seeing clients since 2020. In sessions she draws on relational and psychodynamic ideas while keeping the focus on what the client needs now. The body and breath often play a role in her practice.

Anna describes herself as integrative and relational. She uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working alongside trauma-focused methods when they are helpful. Practical elements such as breath work, movement and creativity can be introduced even if a person has no artistic experience.

She notes particular experience with bereavement, sexual abuse, chronic illness and caregiver stress as well as more common concerns like sleep or eating issues and low self-esteem. Anna pays attention to how past relationships and family patterns affect present choices and feelings.

Anna is due to begin maternity leave at the start of February 2025 and is focusing on short to medium-term work for now. If someone wants to explore how sessions might look, she invites them to ask questions and discuss the best way to proceed.

How Anna’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Anna uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when someone notices repeated problems in close relationships or feels cut off from others. She also works in a client-centred way that focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. That method supports people who want a steady, person-led conversation about goals and options. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss different methods and decide together with each person which fits their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative rather than prescribed. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy week. If you need options that use less bandwidth or do not require video, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The practical aim is to make sessions manageable so talking about difficult experiences and body-based practices can happen alongside everyday commitments.
