About Eirini

Eirini Anane-Crane works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes, using a person-centred approach combined with cognitive and mindfulness techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy.

She draws on an MA in counselling and psychotherapy and a decade of practice across clinical and community settings. Her work has included helpline and online counselling, face-to-face sessions, mental health crisis services management, and bespoke counselling within the criminal justice system. She also teaches counselling and psychology and supervises volunteers and clinicians.

In sessions she puts the therapeutic relationship at the centre and treats the client as the expert on their experience. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy are used where helpful to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness-based techniques are offered to support coping with anxiety and stress.

Eirini has particular experience with perinatal issues, pregnancy loss and related support, and cultural and BAME-related concerns. She has used play therapy with children under 15 as an early intervention to support emotional well-being, and she has worked with people affected by addiction, grief, intimacy concerns and relationship difficulties.

Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English and Greek.

Sessions are arranged through the site's matching process and a subscription model is used for payment, which can be cancelled at any time. To book a first session, use the Talk to a counsellor online button and complete the short questionnaire.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship and the client’s own expertise about their life. It involves listening, reflecting and helping a person identify their priorities and choices, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood and address unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and increase present-moment focus. It can be useful alongside other techniques for stress and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what fits around work or family commitments. The biography notes experience with helpline and online counselling, but it does not give a full list of current session types, so confirm the available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule and continue alongside other commitments.
