Anne Craven, NCPS

Anne Craven is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach. She combines client-centred listening with solution-focused and trauma-informed work. Anne has worked in the field for 12 years and holds NCPS credentialing.

She focuses on practical changes people can make when life feels overwhelming. That includes help with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, intimacy concerns and career anxieties.

Anne has particular experience with trauma that began in childhood and trauma experienced in adulthood. She works with mood disorders, low self-esteem and people living with personality-related difficulties. She also supports those coping with sleep or eating worries, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she prioritises listening and building a clear plan together. Short-term goals and simple strategies are used alongside deeper work when it feels needed. She draws on Jungian ideas and inner-child work to help people understand repeating patterns.

People are encouraged to bring everyday problems and the bigger life shifts to therapy. Anne aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. To begin, clients use the site process to match and arrange the first appointment.

How Anne applies therapeutic approaches remotely

Anne draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help with repeating patterns in relationships and intimacy. She also uses client-centred therapy, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and priorities for sessions. Finally, trauma-focused methods are used to help people process past events and reduce the ways those experiences affect day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try ideas, and adjust methods as needed. This collaborative attitude aims to match approaches to what actually helps the individual feel and function better.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue therapy while dealing with life changes or relocation. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to make sessions useful and manageable within everyday routines.
