About Reanne
Reanne Farrer is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including sexual abuse and trauma, gender identity, anxiety, bereavement and LGBT issues. Reanne also lists stress, relationships and grief among her focus areas, and addresses loss related to pets as well as bereavement more widely.
Her training includes a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and she also holds qualifications in youth mental health first aid and pet bereavement support. Reanne uses several approaches in sessions, drawing on attachment ideas, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential thinking and psychodynamic perspectives.
In practice she aims to make it straightforward to talk about difficult experiences, including trauma and questions about gender. Sessions are set up so people can say what they think and feel without being judged. Reanne explains things plainly and works with the person to decide what to focus on next.
She helps people look at patterns that keep anxiety, guilt or shame active - for example, attachment or communication issues that affect relationships. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural work may be used alongside longer reflections about meaning and identity from existential or psychodynamic work.
Reanne supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image concerns, and a range of relationship difficulties. Her background also covers specialist areas such as autism, abandonment concerns, blended family issues and kink and alternative sexual cultures.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect how people feel and relate now. It helps with trust, abandonment concerns and difficulties in close relationships by highlighting recurring patterns and choices.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting without directing the person. It helps someone who needs time to make sense of feelings about identity, grief or difficult experiences. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides practical steps and exercises to reduce anxiety and to test unhelpful beliefs linked to shame or guilt.
Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and will help decide whether to emphasise practical CBT tools, attachment exploration, or more reflective psychodynamic and existential thinking. That choice can change over time as the sessions progress.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it simpler to continue work after relocation or when managing health and caregiving responsibilities.
