Anna Channon

Anna Channon is a relational counsellor with a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and four years of client work. She focuses on helping people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies. Many clients come to her after trauma or difficult life changes and want time-limited support to make practical changes.

Anna tends to work in a warm, exploratory way. She listens for patterns in relationships and early life that shape current struggles. Sessions often include attention to the body through breath work, movement and creative activities when that feels helpful. Creativity is offered as a tool rather than a skill test - no artistic ability is needed.

Her practice covers a range of concerns, including bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, stress, eating and food-related issues, and sexual abuse. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, fertility or separation. Anna describes herself as interested in attachment and how early relationships affect present coping.

People who prefer a reflective, relational style often find this approach useful. Work can explore core patterns, attachment wounds and how the body holds emotion. Sessions aim to build clearer self-understanding alongside practical ways to manage symptoms and daily life.

Anna will be going on maternity leave at the start of February 2025 and is able to offer short to medium term work before then. Prospective clients are encouraged to ask questions to see if her way of working fits their needs.

How Anna’s approaches translate to online work

Anna draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building gentler ways of relating to themselves and others.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions follow the person’s pace and priorities. The counsellor aims to be curious and non-judgemental, helping people name feelings and decide what to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss the methods that might suit each person and shape sessions around goals and preferences. That means deciding together whether to focus on talk-based exploration, trauma-focused techniques, or body-informed practices like breath work and simple movement.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and let people join from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or limited bandwidth, depending on practical needs.
