Anna Channon , BACP

Anna Channon is an integrative relational counsellor who works with people seeking greater connection to themselves and their bodies. She often supports individuals who have experienced either acute events or ongoing low level trauma and who want to take time to understand their patterns and make meaningful change.

She has a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and has been working with clients since 2020, bringing four years of experience to her practice. Anna holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes professional affiliation with the UK counselling community.

Her clinical work covers bereavement and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, life changes and sexual abuse, and she often integrates an embodied focus into her approach. She is particularly interested in breath work, the body, movement, nature and creativity, and these elements can be incorporated into sessions to complement talking therapies without requiring any artistic skill.

Please note she is due to go on maternity leave at the start of February 2025 and can only accept clients seeking short or medium term work. Anna is happy to answer questions about how she works and to discuss whether her approach may suit a prospective client.

Therapeutic approaches for online embodied and relational work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore patterns from early relationships and how they shape present-day connections. It can be useful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties in close relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and coping with life changes by creating space for the client to find their own solutions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the impact of traumatic experiences, using structured care to reduce distress and support recovery from abuse, loss, or other painful events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Anna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time to reflect progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Anna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing ongoing therapeutic work from different locations and at times that suit the client.
