Anne Craven is a counsellor with twelve years of practice supporting people through trauma, anxiety and life changes. She uses a blend of person-centred listening and trauma-focused work to help people feel understood and begin to change. Anne holds NCPS as a credential and works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom.

Her background includes substantial work with adults who have experienced childhood and adult trauma. She has supported people living with mood disorders, addictions and complex self-esteem issues.

Background and approach

Anne also helps those managing caregiving strain, grief, and the practical fallout of relationship breakdown. In sessions she draws on client-centred therapy to create a calm space where people talk through what matters to them. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.

Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of now. Anne adapts her approach to the person in front of her. Sometimes she focuses on short, practical solutions for an immediate problem.

Other times she works more deeply on patterns, including inner child and Jungian perspectives where imagery and symbolism are helpful. This flexibility aims to match treatment to each person’s goals. Therapy is offered via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Anne's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can gently trace these patterns and help people develop different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and empathy. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helping them talk through problems and discover their own solutions in a supportive online space.

Trauma-Focused Therapy targets memories and reactions that come from past events. When trauma is the issue, sessions aim to reduce distress and increase coping through paced, focused work adapted to the person’s readiness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best, based on the person’s goals, needs and preferences. This can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is required. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter, flexible exchanges during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and life commitments.
