Alanna Farrow, BACP

Alanna Farrow is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, depression, addictions, anger and life changes. She also draws on eight years of experience working with people affected by cancer.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens without judgement and helps people organise what feels overwhelming. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to centre the conversation on the client's experience and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and practical steps that can change day-to-day responses.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable goals. Conversations often include recognising triggers, trying out small behavioural changes, and practising alternatives to habitual responses. Practical tools are balanced with time to talk through feelings and the context around them.

Alanna commonly works on communication problems, attachment issues, body image and workplace stress. She also supports people facing end-of-life and hospice concerns and those dealing with isolation, guilt or shame. Her background with cancer care gives additional context for navigating illness-related worries.

People who come for help with anger can expect direct discussion of triggers and consequences. She helps map patterns that lead to snapping, simmering resentment or explosive moments, then works on concrete strategies for managing those moments and repairing relationships.

To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
