About Anne
Anne Craven is a counsellor who uses an integrative, client-focused approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. She holds NCPS and has practised for 12 years in the United Kingdom. Her style is direct and practical, aiming to make sessions feel calm and useful from the first meeting.
She blends client-centred work with trauma-focused and solution-focused methods. That mix lets her listen closely to a person's story while also helping them find small, achievable steps forward.
Background and approach
She often uses ideas from attachment-focused and Jungian work when exploring deep patterns or recurrent relationship difficulties. People come to her with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress.
She also works with attachment issues, codependency, control problems, dissociation, and related challenges. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Anne aims to identify what is most pressing, and then build practical strategies together.
She also pays attention to early experiences and recurring themes that affect day-to-day wellbeing. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and tools such as short exercises and focused goals are commonly used to support progress.
How Anne's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns that form in close relationships. It helps people see how early bonds shape reactions to stress, trust and intimacy, and can be useful for relationship problems and attachment issues.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers non-judgemental listening and reflection to help someone clarify their feelings and decide on their own next steps. This approach is often helpful when someone needs space to make sense of their experience or build self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anne will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused work with trauma-focused techniques or short solution-focused tasks to manage immediate symptoms.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls are good for deeper conversations, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to book regular contact and keep therapy working around day-to-day life.
