About Anne
Anne Craven is a counsellor who draws on an integrative, person-centred approach. She combines client-centred listening with solution-focused ideas and trauma-informed work to help people find practical ways forward. Anne is listed with the NCPS and has practised for 12 years in the United Kingdom.
She prioritises a warm, straightforward style in sessions. People can expect time to tell their story and to look at what feels most useful now. Anne often works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and grief, and helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.
Her background includes long-term work with people who have experienced childhood or adult trauma and symptoms linked to post-traumatic stress. She also has experience supporting those with mood disorders, personality difficulties, low self-esteem and challenges around parenting, sleep and eating.
Therapy with Anne mixes talking and practical steps. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationships and inner patterns. Solution-focused techniques help set achievable goals and small changes that fit everyday life.
Clients can also expect trauma-focused methods when needed, including gentle inner child work to process painful memories and reactions. Jungian ideas may be used to explore meaning and personal symbols when that suits a person’s goals. Anne aims to tailor sessions around what each person needs in the moment.
How Anne’s therapeutic approaches work online
Anne uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports changes in how they connect with others.She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions begin with the person’s own priorities. The counsellor listens carefully and helps people find solutions that fit their life rather than imposing a set plan.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to cause distress. These techniques aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and to help people process memories at a pace they can manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which combination of methods to try. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what is most useful.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking to confirm what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practical arrangements during the first session helps make the work manageable alongside everyday life.
