About Anne
Anne Craven is a counsellor who draws on an integrative approach to help people untangle difficult patterns. She blends client-centred listening with solution-focused tools and trauma-focused work. Anne has 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties.
She often helps people who have struggled with childhood or adult trauma, including PTSD and personality or mood disorders. Anne also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, anger and codependency. Her practical focus is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
In sessions she uses plain conversation and reflective listening to help people feel heard. She may combine that with exercises to spot unhelpful patterns and small steps to try between meetings. The aim is to build clearer choices and safer ways of relating to others.
Anne trained as a registered therapist and holds NCPS. Over twelve years she has worked with adults facing a wide range of life stresses, from caregiving strain to major life changes. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and by addictive behaviours.
People who come to her often want practical ways to cope alongside space to process painful memories. Anne’s style is collaborative and steady. She helps people set short-term goals and also look at deeper patterns that shape their decisions.
How Anne’s approaches translate to online counselling
Anne works from an integrative base that often combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and trauma-focused techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and reflection to help people understand their feelings and make choices that fit their values. Trauma-focused methods aim to gently address and process painful memories while teaching coping skills for distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try. She sees therapy as a collaborative process where small experiments and regular review guide the plan.
If you are considering online sessions, check the session formats available before booking to confirm what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes, while the practical details of session types should be confirmed directly during the booking process.
