About Reanne
Counsellor and BACP member Reanne Farrer has six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on sexual abuse and trauma, gender identity, anxiety and bereavement, including pet bereavement. Reanne practices in a counselling style that aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and make changes they choose.
Reanne uses several approaches to guide sessions. She draws on client-centred work to listen and follow what matters to each person. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current trust and closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical steps for anxiety and unhelpful thinking.
Sessions are conversational and structured around the client's concerns. Reanne offers space to discuss trauma, grief, identity questions and relationship problems. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and sexual wellbeing topics such as BDSM and kink culture.
Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Additional training includes mental health first aid for young people, safeguarding at Level 2, and Level 3 pet bereavement counselling. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Reanne works in plain language and aims to make sessions clear and manageable. People often start by outlining what they want to discuss and setting simple goals. If you are considering counselling, she asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking pathway.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Reanne blends client-centred work and attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following what each person brings. This helps when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to talk about identity or loss. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape trust and closeness, which can help with relationship problems and trauma responses. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives practical tools for anxiety and unhelpful thinking, such as short exercises to change patterns of worry.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Reanne will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest ways to proceed. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs become clearer.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make sessions possible when mobility or illness makes travel difficult. In practice, people find online sessions useful for regular weekly work and short-term focused tasks, but you should check which formats are offered when you sign up.
