About Anne
Anne Craven is a counsellor with 12 years' experience. She works in an integrative way that centres the person and their experiences. She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and life changes in everyday language and practical steps.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods to listen and reflect, and on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses trauma-focused work to help people who have experienced childhood or adult trauma, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.
Anne has worked with people dealing with PTSD, mood difficulties, personality-related concerns and addictions. She also supports those facing grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Sleeping difficulties are part of the concerns she addresses alongside eating and parenting stresses.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Conversations explore what feels most urgent and which small changes could make a difference. The therapist will use a mix of talking, reflective exercises and inner child work tailored to each person.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She is registered with NCPS and draws on that experience when helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Therapeutic approaches you can explore online
Anne draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people who notice repeating relationship themes, trust difficulties or attachment worries work out different ways of relating.She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting. That approach creates space for a person to speak openly and identify what they most want to change or understand.
Trauma-focused work is offered for those who have experienced childhood or adult trauma. This involves pacing, grounding and methods to help reduce the emotional charge around difficult memories and reactions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Planning is practical and guided by what the person wants to achieve.
