About Reanne

Reanne Farrer is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She lists sexual abuse and trauma, gender identity, anxiety and bereavement including pet loss among her main concerns. Reanne works with people who feel stuck after a change, are questioning what matters, or are struggling to find direction in life. Her approach draws on attachment-based work and client-centred ways of meeting people. That means time is spent noticing how early relationships shape current patterns, and helping the client talk through what they need now. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon. Reanne also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test small changes in day-to-day life. She brings psychodynamic and existential ideas into longer term work when exploring identity, meaning, or recurring relationship issues. This mix lets her cover both immediate coping and deeper reflection. She has training in therapeutic counselling at BSc (Hons) level and a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Additional certificates include Mental Health First Aid for young people and pet bereavement support. These inform how she supports people facing loss, anxiety, trauma or questions about gender. People can expect a calm, straightforward style that focuses on what matters now. Reanne encourages practical steps alongside talking, and helps people consider values and choices when thinking about life purpose.

How Reanne uses talking therapies online

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships influence today's patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those habits in the moment and try new ways of relating. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what each person brings. That approach supports people who are unsure about life direction by letting them speak and be heard without a fixed agenda.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavioural changes. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and practical problems because it breaks issues into concrete steps to try between sessions. Reanne can blend shorter, skills-focused work with deeper reflection depending on what a person wants.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps match day-to-day coping with longer term questions about meaning and purpose.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your routine.
