About Anne

Anne Craven is a counsellor with 12 years of practice who draws on an integrative therapy style. She works in a client-centred way and combines solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas to help people manage overwhelming feelings and make clearer choices. Anne holds NCPS as a listed credential and works from the United Kingdom.

Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and mood conditions. She also supports people facing grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem and career concerns.

Anne has a particular interest in trauma work and in helping people recover after childhood or adult traumatic experiences. She uses trauma-focused approaches alongside inner-child and attachment-informed thinking to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. This can include work around abandonment, attachment difficulties and dissociation.

She also helps with more situational problems such as coping with life changes, parental stress, compassion fatigue and responses to sudden events including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Sessions can address practical steps for day-to-day functioning and managing reactions to major events.

Her practice emphasises a warm, accepting stance and collaborative planning. People who reach out are asked about their priorities, and sessions are shaped around their goals and what feels manageable in their life.

How Anne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Anne commonly uses attachment-based ideas and solution-focused methods alongside trauma-focused work. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early experiences affect current feelings and choices. It can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and ongoing relationship patterns.

Solution-focused work concentrates on small practical steps and on what changes someone wants to see. It suits people who want concrete strategies to reduce stress, manage anxiety or address specific problems like sleep or work-related strain. Trauma-focused approaches are used to help people process distressing events and reduce their impact on everyday life, including responses after sudden incidents or disasters.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will ask about goals, current difficulties and preferences, then agree a way of working together. Plans can change as new needs emerge, and Anne aims to match methods to what the person wants to achieve.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, avoid travel time and keep sessions regular when life is hectic. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when that better suits a day or schedule.
