About Anna
Anna Channon is a relational counsellor with four years of client experience. She holds a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and is listed with the BACP. Anna usually works with people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies and who want to understand why they react the way they do.
She often meets clients who have faced acute or low level trauma, or who are navigating bereavement, loss, anxiety, depression and major life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping difficulties, relationship struggles, parenting strain and career pressures. Anna pays attention to how past attachments shape present feelings and choices. Her approach blends talking with embodied practices.
Breath work, gentle movement, time in nature and simple creative exercises can be part of sessions. No artistic skill is required; these activities are practical ways to notice sensation and feeling alongside words. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
Anna aims to help people make sense of patterns, rebuild a sense of agency and develop small, workable changes that fit daily life. She adapts the pace when trauma or painful material comes up.
Please note Anna intends to start maternity leave at the beginning of February 2025 and is best suited to short or medium term work that can be scheduled before then. She welcomes questions about how she works and what to expect.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and embodied healing
Anna blends attachment-based and trauma-focused ways of working. Attachment-based work looks at early bonds and how they shape current relationships and emotional patterns, helping people notice where they feel safe or stuck. Trauma-focused work is about addressing the impact of painful events and learning ways to manage intense feelings and build tolerance for difficult memories.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on each person's history, goals and preferences, and she will check in regularly to adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit deeper face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins and text messaging supports people who prefer writing or need shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
