Anna Channon is a counsellor with a degree in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and four years of client work. She works with people who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies and those recovering from trauma. She believes in combining talk-based therapy with attention to the body, breath and creative expression to support change.

Anna centres sessions on building a trusting relationship and understanding patterns that keep someone stuck. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic perspectives to help people make sense of their emotional life. Clients often come with grief, anxiety, depression, stress or life changes. Anna has experience supporting people after bereavement, sexual abuse and other forms of trauma.

She also helps with eating and sleeping difficulties, body image, parenting stress, career concerns and coping with chronic illness or caregiving demands. Practical, embodied tools are part of her approach. Breath work, gentle movement and creative tasks are offered when helpful and no artistic skill is needed.

These activities are used alongside talking to access emotions held in the body and to try different ways of responding. Sessions can be offered through several online formats and to international clients in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Anna is open to discussing how a short or medium course of work might look for each person.

How Anna's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to gently explore patterns of closeness and distance and to try new ways of relating to oneself and others.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session and emphasises empathy and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and to uncover their own solutions during video or phone conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree on a route that can include talking, breath work or creative exercises. This collaborative process means the method can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and life commitments while keeping treatment consistent.
