Anne Craven

Anne Craven is a counsellor with 12 years' experience helping people manage intense feelings and rebuild day-to-day life. She works in a straightforward, person-centred way and focuses on what a client wants to change. Her work often addresses anger alongside stress, anxiety and relationship strain.

Anne uses an integrative approach that blends client-centred listening with solution-focused steps. She pays attention to how early life experiences shape reactions now and draws on trauma-focused ideas to help people process difficult memories. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build simple, practical ways to cope.

Many people come with histories of childhood or adult trauma, low self-esteem, mood challenges and addiction. Anne describes common areas she supports as grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and difficulties with intimacy. She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms and compassion fatigue.

Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. Conversations are used to identify small, realistic changes and to explore underlying patterns where helpful. Inner child work and exploration of attachment patterns can be used when clients want to look deeper.

Anne holds NCPS as a professional credential. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Anne's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people name patterns that affect connection and emotion. It can help with anger that links to feeling abandoned or misunderstood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard; the counsellor mirrors concerns and supports clients to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and managing distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful events in a paced way so memories feel less overwhelming and daily triggers reduce over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will talk with the client about goals, symptoms and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means tools and pacing are matched to what the person needs right now, not imposed from the start.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm session options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. They also allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and quieter, less intense ways to begin tackling difficult topics. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt talking, grounding exercises and gentle inner child work to an online setting so therapy fits into everyday life.
