Reanne Farrer (She/Her), BACP

Reanne Farrer is a counsellor who draws on person-centred care to help people through sexual abuse and trauma, gender identity concerns, anxiety and bereavement. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make early steps feel less daunting for someone thinking about therapy.

Her approach is calm and straightforward. She listens first and follows the pace set by the person in front of her. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, making sense of painful memories, and building practical ways to manage day-to-day stress.

Reanne blends different ways of working to match each person's needs. She uses ideas from attachment work to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when people want concrete ways to change anxious or unhelpful thinking. Psychodynamic and existential influences help when people want to explore deeper meaning and long-standing patterns.

She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling. She is also a Mental Health First Aid Youth responder and holds training in safeguarding and pet bereavement support. Her listed professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Reanne has six years of professional experience working with a wide range of issues. People bring concerns such as stress, relationship difficulties, identity questions, grief and trauma. She aims to offer a steady, non-judgemental space where those concerns can be talked through and understood.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Reanne commonly works from a client-centred stance that prioritises the person's experience and pace. This means conversations start with what matters most to the individual and progress at a comfortable speed. Attachment-based ideas are also used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, relationship struggles and trauma.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when people want practical tools to manage worry and unhelpful thinking. CBT methods may include noticing thought patterns, trying small behavioural changes, and practising new coping skills between sessions. These approaches are explained plainly and adapted to each person's goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Reanne will discuss options and agree a plan based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift as therapy continues.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and sessions without video if that helps someone feel more comfortable.
