Kanan Robinson
Person-focused counsellor for practical change
About Kanan
Kanan Robinson is a counsellor with three years of professional experience. She trained in counselling and holds BACP registration, and she draws on additional therapeutic methods to support people who are struggling. She describes her role as a calm, steady presence while clients talk through the things that matter to them.
Her approach puts the person first. Sessions move at the client’s pace and follow what the client brings. Kanan uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside other techniques she has learned to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She aims to help people understand how their thinking affects how they feel and act. Kanan works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family difficulties. She also supports people facing work pressures, eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, and major life transitions like divorce or bereavement.
Practical problems such as panic attacks, self-harm thoughts, control issues, and isolation are also within her scope. Kanan lists specific focuses such as cancer-related worries, workplace issues, and the challenges young adults often face. She offers a non-judgemental space for clients to name what matters and begin to make changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Kanan works with each person to find ways of coping that fit their life and goals. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s pace to help people understand their feelings and choices. This approach can be helpful for stress, low mood, relationship concerns and life changes.Kanan also brings techniques from other therapeutic methods she has trained in to supplement the core client-centred work. These techniques offer extra tools that clients can try when they want more practical ways to change patterns of thinking or behaviour. Together the counsellor and client decide which methods to use and how sessions should progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use facial cues and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, more frequent contact or times when writing helps someone think more clearly. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
