About Anne

Anne Craven is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused and client-centred approaches to help people facing hard moments. She has worked in the field for 12 years and holds NCPS credentials. Her style is straightforward and caring, aimed at making conversations feel safe and useful from the first session.

She combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Attachment-Based and client-centred methods. That mix lets her address the impacts of childhood and adult trauma while also paying attention to how relationships and early bonds affect feelings today.

Background and approach

Sessions often explore patterns that keep problems repeating and small changes that reduce distress. Anne works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also helps people manage major life changes, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and symptoms linked to mood and personality difficulties.

Practical coping steps are paired with deeper exploration when needed. Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then suggests ways forward tailored to each person.

Techniques might include talking through difficult memories, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying specific actions between sessions to test what helps. Sessions are offered in English and are run online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and matching is done through a short questionnaire before scheduling.

Ways of working Anne names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Anne’s approaches work online

Anne draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people make sense of painful memories and the ways those memories show up today; this approach aims to reduce the hold of traumatic events through careful, paced work. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings, which can help with intimacy issues, fear of abandonment and self-worth concerns. A client-centred stance keeps the work rooted in the person’s own priorities and pace, so sessions follow what matters most to the individual.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist listens to goals and symptoms, and then suggests which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays aligned with the client’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, immediate reflections or people who prefer writing. Overall online work makes it easier to fit therapy around busy lives while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
