About Kanan
Kanan Robinson is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem and depression as listed in her profile.
Kanan says her own experience of counselling led her into the profession. That personal perspective influenced her training route and how she chooses to work with people. She uses an approach rooted in Client-Centred Therapy and draws on additional techniques she learned earlier in her career.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to address. Kanan helps people identify the patterns and thoughts that cause distress. She offers practical ways to try new responses and notice what changes. Where relevant, she may invite techniques from neuro-linguistic programming, hypnotherapy or timeline work as extra tools to explore issues.
Common concerns she lists include trauma and abuse, grief and loss, panic attacks, self-harm and mood disorders. She also works with life changes such as divorce or separation, workplace problems and issues around parenting and young adulthood. Eating and sleep problems, cancer-related concerns and isolation are also noted.
Kanan practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her stated approach is humanistic and integrative, which means she follows the client’s pace and chooses from several methods to suit the work they want to do together.
How Client-Centred work translates to online counselling
The core of Client-Centred Therapy is listening and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means the counsellor focuses on the client’s perspective, reflecting what is said and helping the client clarify their own thoughts. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.Kanan also draws on techniques from neuro-linguistic programming and hypnotherapy as optional tools. These are offered as methods to try alongside counselling, for example to practise new ways of thinking or to support work on specific memories and patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist and client decide together which methods suit the issue, the goals and the client’s preferences. That collaborative decision can change as the sessions progress and as new needs emerge.
