Kanan Robinson

Kanan Robinson is a counsellor who found her path after experiencing counselling personally. That experience made her want to understand how thinking and feelings shape behaviour. She trained in counselling and uses additional techniques she learned earlier to offer a range of options in sessions.

She describes her work as humanistic and client-centred, which means she follows the client’s lead and moves at a pace that suits them. Sessions focus on what the client wants to address, whether that is low mood, anxiety, grief, or problems around eating and food. Kanan aims to offer empathy and respect while people talk through difficult experiences.

Her background includes training in neuro-linguistic programming, hypnotherapy and timeline therapy, which she integrates when appropriate. Kanan has practised counselling for three years and holds BACP as a listed credential.

In practice she helps people explore common concerns such as stress, panic, self-harm thoughts, relationship strain, and issues linked to work or life transitions. She also offers support for eating and food-related issues alongside mood and trauma-related difficulties.

Kanan invites clients to shape each session and to try different approaches to see what fits. The focus is practical: identifying problems, testing helpful changes and building clearer ways of coping. She aims to be a steady companion as people work through what matters most to them.

How a client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own goals and experiences at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and eating and food-related concerns where self-understanding matters.

Kanan also draws on techniques from neuro-linguistic programming and hypnotherapy when these fit the person’s goals. Those methods offer extra practical tools clients can try, such as new ways of thinking about habits or guided relaxation to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Kanan will work collaboratively to decide what to try first and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to match methods to the person’s needs, preferences and day-to-day life rather than to follow a fixed template.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from locations that are simply more practical for them, while therapists and clients agree what will work best for each meeting.
