Kanan Robinson , BACP

Kanan Robinson is a humanistic integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings three years of professional experience to her practice. She speaks English and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her connection to established professional standards.

Kanan's journey into counselling began from personal experience on the receiving end of therapy, which inspired a deeper curiosity about how thought and behaviour interact. She trained as an NLP practitioner and progressed into hypnotherapy and timeline therapy, achieving Master-level training in each of those three areas. Seeking to apply these skills within a therapeutic counselling framework, she then completed four years of counselling training to expand and refine her clinical abilities.

Her approach blends client-led humanistic counselling with additional tools drawn from NLP, hypnotherapy, and timeline therapy, allowing sessions to be tailored to each person's needs. Kanan supports people as they identify and explore the challenges they are facing, offering a mix of approaches when appropriate to help clients move forward. Her clinical experience encompasses areas such as depression, anxiety, low mood, stress, grief and bereavement, trauma, relationship difficulties, panic attacks, self-harm, abuse, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, and personal development, along with other concerns clients bring.

Guided by the pace and priorities of each individual, Kanan aims to be a companion in the therapeutic process, working collaboratively to address the feelings and experiences clients wish to focus on.

Integrating Client-Centered Care with Online Therapy

Kanan uses client-centered therapy as the foundation of her work, which focuses on empathy, active listening, and following the client’s lead to create a respectful and non-directive environment; this approach is particularly helpful for people navigating life changes, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and emotional distress. She also draws on NLP techniques, offering practical tools and reframing strategies intended to shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, which can support work with anxiety, stress, and confidence-related concerns. Where appropriate, elements of hypnotherapy and timeline work are integrated to help clients access deeper patterns and create new perspectives.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kanan works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are shaped around the client’s pace and priorities so that therapy remains person-focused and adaptable.

These approaches translate effectively to online formats. Kanan offers work via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility that fits different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person meetings are not possible, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic connection with licensed professionals and therapists.
