About Anna

Anna Channon is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of client work. She works with people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies. Many come because of trauma, grief, anxiety or big life changes and want time to better understand themselves.

Anna trained with a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and has been seeing clients since 2020. Her background includes supporting people through bereavement and loss, sexual abuse, stress, depression and anxiety. She also helps with issues around eating, sleep, parenting and career uncertainty.

Her approach is relational and integrative. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings and the body interact. Sessions may include breath work, movement and creative tasks alongside talking. No artistic skill is needed to use creativity in this way.

Anna often works with people who have experienced acute or repeated low-level trauma. She explains things simply and helps clients notice patterns from earlier relationships that still affect them now. Attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking inform this work.

She asks people to consider short or medium term work if they are starting therapy before her maternity leave in February 2025. International clients are accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and emotions. In sessions this often means mapping recurring patterns, noticing how you react in relationships now, and trying different ways to respond that feel more manageable.

Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what matters to the person in front of her. It helps when someone is unsure what to prioritise, by giving space to clarify concerns and decide on small first steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. She discusses goals, past experiences and practical preferences with each person and adapts the balance of talking, breath work and creative tasks accordingly.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quieter setting for a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find these options help people keep momentum between meetings.
