About Anne
Anne Craven is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and trauma and abuse concerns, among other issues. Her focus also includes low self esteem, mood difficulties and coping with life changes.
Anne uses an integrative approach that blends client-centred work with trauma-focused and solution-focused methods. In sessions she pays attention to early attachment patterns and how they affect current relationships. She also draws on Jungian ideas and inner child work when those perspectives help a person make sense of their experience.
People meet to talk through what feels most urgent, then set practical goals for the next steps. Sessions may include exploring past experiences, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying small experiments to change daily habits. The aim is to find concrete ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.
Anne has worked with adults who have faced childhood and adult trauma, PTSD, personality and mood disorders, addictions and grief. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain and difficulties around intimacy and body image.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns and build new ways of responding. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to agree next steps.
Therapeutic approaches for remote sessions
Anne blends client-centred work with trauma-focused therapy and draws on attachment-based ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, low self esteem and relationship concerns. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past events affect current reactions and supports practical steps to reduce distress and manage symptoms.Attachment-based thinking explores early relationship patterns and how they show up now, often helping people understand repeated difficulties in friendships or romantic relationships. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; the therapist will discuss options and decide together what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences.
