About Anne

Anne Craven works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and mood problems using an integrative, client-centred approach. She is registered with NCPS and has 12 years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

She combines client-centred and attachment-based ideas with solution-focused and trauma-focused methods. Sessions include inner child work as part of trauma-informed practice. Anne aims to help people understand how past experiences affect current reactions and relationships, and to find practical steps for change.

Her background includes extensive work with people who have had childhood and adult trauma, including post-traumatic stress reactions and dissociation. She has also worked with mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar presentations, and with substance-related problems.

Anne supports people facing grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and career stress. She also addresses issues linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency, and common relationship problems like communication and commitment worries.

In sessions she uses conversational, person-centred meetings to explore feelings and patterns. She then draws on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Jungian ideas are used when helpful to explore personal meaning and recurring themes.

Practical matters such as managing anger, coping with life changes, and reducing compassion fatigue are part of the work. People considering counselling are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the Talk to a counsellor online button.

How Anne's approaches shape remote counselling

Anne uses attachment-based therapy to look at patterns that formed in early relationships and how these affect current attachments. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment worries and issues around trust.

She also works in a client-centred way, which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping someone make sense of their feelings. That method supports mood problems, low self-esteem and coping with life changes by keeping the person's experience central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will discuss the options and agree on what to try, based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. The style can shift as progress is made and new issues come up.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid being on camera for the whole time if that helps someone engage.
