Kanan Robinson

Kanan Robinson is a counsellor who moved into the helping professions after experiencing therapy personally. She holds a BACP accreditation, and that experience shaped her belief in a respectful, empathetic working relationship. Kanan aims to offer a steady presence as people talk through difficult feelings and events in their lives.

She trained for four years in counselling and also studied NLP, hypnotherapy and timeline work to expand the range of tools she can offer. In sessions she starts from what the client brings and adapts the approach to their needs. That might mean talking through painful memories, learning ways to manage panic or exploring low mood and grief.

Kanan works in a humanistic, client-centred style, which means she follows the client’s lead and moves at a pace that feels manageable. She describes therapy as a shared process where the person in front of her is the expert on their own life. Practical techniques from her other training can be offered when helpful.

Typical areas she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, self-esteem and anger. She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, workplace difficulties, parenting strain and life changes like separation or illness.

Sessions are structured around each person’s goals and comfort. Kanan aims to create a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere so people can try out new ways of thinking and coping. She invites discussion about which methods might suit each individual during the first meetings.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, or space to process strong emotions.

Kanan also combines counselling with techniques from her other training to give extra options during sessions. These are offered as tools a person can try rather than fixed prescriptions, and they can target things like panic, low mood or unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and each person’s situation and then agree which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps tailor the sessions to what feels most useful for the individual.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to book shorter check-ins or evening appointments when needed.
