About Reanne

Reanne Farrer (She/Her) uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She focuses on creating a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement. Reanne's practice aims to help people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, grief and trauma, including support around gender identity and sexual abuse issues.

She draws on six years of professional experience and holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Her background also includes training in youth mental health first aid and pet bereavement counselling, which she brings into sensitive conversations about loss.

In sessions she encourages people to notice patterns in relationships and feelings. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early connections influence current reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods are used when people want practical steps to change anxious thinking and behaviour.

Reanne adopts an open, empathic way of working. She aims to tailor conversations to each person’s pace and needs. The goal is to build practical coping strategies while also making space for deeper reflection when it helps.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she communicates in English. People who are exploring questions around identity, trauma, grief or relationship difficulties may find her style accessible and straightforward.

How her approaches shape online counselling

Reanne blends Client-Centred and Attachment-Based approaches to guide conversations. Client-Centred work means sessions focus on what you want to talk about and your own goals, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships affect current patterns, which can help with trust, loss and relationship worries.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when people want clear steps to manage anxious thoughts and behaviours. CBT offers practical exercises and short-term strategies to reduce worry and build new habits. Together these methods allow room for feeling heard while also working on concrete changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Reanne will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on understanding past patterns or on practical coping skills.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and daily life, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for different ways to engage, such as shorter check-ins or sessions without video, depending on what suits a person best.
