About Reanne

Reanne Farrer is a BACP registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. Reanne also lists a broad range of related focuses including codependency, attachment issues and bereavement support for pet loss.

She takes a straightforward, conversational approach in sessions. Reanne listens to what matters most and helps people name patterns that cause pain. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioural and attachment-based approaches to address anxious thoughts and unhelpful reactions.

Her training includes a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and she holds a BACP registration. Reanne also has qualifications related to youth mental health first aid, safeguarding, and pet bereavement counselling. These inform how she responds to trauma, loss and identity questions.

In practice she works at a pace set by the person in front of her. Conversations can cover past experiences and current practical steps. Reanne aims to help people build clearer boundaries, manage anxiety, and find steadier ways of relating to others.

If someone is unsure what to expect, Reanne asks about their immediate concerns and goals in the first session. From there she and the client decide which approaches to use and what small changes to try next.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how earlier bonds influence current reactions. Online sessions can explore how clients relate to others now and practise new responses to clinginess, people-pleasing, or fear of abandonment.

Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the centre and uses reflective listening to help people make sense of feelings. This approach suits conversations about identity, grief and relationship concerns where being heard matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. She will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking how the client wants to handle emotional material and which techniques to try between sessions.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work and family life and reducing travel time. If session formats are not listed in a profile, confirm the available options before booking to know whether video, phone or other formats are offered. Many people find shorter check-ins helpful on busy days and longer sessions when they need more time to process material.
