About Anne

Anne Craven is a counsellor with 12 years' experience who draws on several therapeutic approaches to help parents and individuals facing stress and life changes. She uses client-centred, solution-focused, attachment-informed and trauma-focused ideas to guide sessions. Anne holds NCPS and works from the United Kingdom.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in several formats. In practice Anne keeps things straightforward. She listens first, then helps people identify small practical steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and the emotional impact of trauma. Parenting challenges and relationship issues are frequent topics in her work. Her background includes long-term work with people who have experienced childhood and adult trauma, mood disorders and personality-related difficulties.

That experience shapes how she recognises patterns and supports healthier ways of relating to oneself and others. She also supports those coping with grief, career stress, compassion fatigue and major life transitions. Therapy sessions often focus on building emotional awareness and strengthening attachment patterns.

Anne uses solution-focused techniques to set reachable goals and client-centred listening to shape each session. Jungian ideas may be used to explore personal meaning and inner material when it is helpful. Appointments can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

The service operates via a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support

How Anne’s approaches work online

Anne often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This work aims to make it easier to recognise emotional responses and build more supported ways of relating. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and responding to what the client brings each session so people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means sessions can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit around a busy day or reduce bandwidth needs, while chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family life, work commitments and different daily routines.
