About Eirini
Eirini Anane-Crane is a counsellor with ten years of experience who draws on client-centred, cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches. She speaks English and Greek and works with people on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship issues. She holds BACP registration and practises from the United Kingdom.
Her work focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping people name what matters to them. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth.
Background and approach
Eirini will listen closely, reflect back what she hears and help clients try small changes between meetings. She has direct experience in helpline and online counselling as well as face-to-face work. That background means she is used to brief check-ins and longer therapy, and can adapt how sessions are structured to fit a person’s life.
Eirini has supported people through grief, trauma and perinatal concerns, and has worked with those coping with abuse, cultural issues and life changes. She also brings experience from clinical leadership, supervising volunteers and teaching counselling and psychology. Her style mixes a person-centred core with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness exercises.
Together these help people notice patterns, try out different responses and manage overwhelming feelings. Many clients come to discuss parenting worries, communication problems, low self-esteem or stress from work and caregiving. The initial steps are straightforward - a short questionnaire, a match with a therapist and then scheduling sessions that fit the person’s routine.

Approaches Eirini lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s viewpoint. The therapist reflects concerns back, asks open questions and helps clients find their own solutions; this approach is helpful when people want to feel heard and build confidence in choices.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it offers concrete steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and ease difficult emotions. These practices can be short and easily practised between appointments to support calmer thinking.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what feels most useful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This might change over time as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, short coaching-style conversations or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting or caregiving routines.
