Kanan Robinson, BACP

Kanan Robinson is a humanistic integrative counsellor who draws on both counselling and therapeutic techniques to support people through difficult life experiences. She speaks from personal experience of having been on the receiving end of counselling, which inspired a curiosity about how thought patterns shape feelings and behaviours and a commitment to offer a respectful, empathetic therapeutic presence. Kanan trained as an NLP practitioner and progressed into hypnotherapy and timeline therapy, completing Master level training in each of these areas, and then undertook four years of counselling training to bring those skills into a therapeutic setting.

In practice she works collaboratively with clients to identify and explore the issues that have brought them to therapy, offering counselling alongside optional NLP tools, hypnotherapy and timeline techniques where appropriate. Her approach is led by the client, moving at a pace that feels comfortable, and tailored to the needs of each person. Areas she has worked with include anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, self-harm, low self-esteem and panic attacks, among others.

Kanan is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional practice. She aims to be a companion in the therapy process as clients navigate challenges and work toward meaningful change.

Client-Centered and Integrative Support Online

Kanan uses Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation, offering a non-directive, empathetic approach that helps people explore their feelings at their own pace and develop greater self-understanding. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, relationship concerns and navigating life transitions.

She also integrates practical tools from NLP and hypnotherapy when appropriate - brief, skills-based techniques that can help with unhelpful thinking patterns, anxiety symptoms and building coping strategies. These are offered as optional additions to counselling rather than a replacement for a client-led process.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Kanan collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access a registered professional from wherever the client is based within the United Kingdom. The flexibility of different formats means people can choose the way of working that best supports their comfort and consistency of care.
