Anne Craven

Anne Craven is a therapist with 12 years' experience who works in an integrative, person-centred way. She combines client-centred listening with solution-focused steps and trauma-sensitive work. Anne aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or addiction. Anne commonly helps people who have experienced childhood or adult trauma, including PTSD and personality-related struggles. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and changes at work. Issues such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and intimacy concerns are part of her caseload. Her work draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and on Jungian perspectives to notice recurring themes in a person's life story. Solution-Focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable steps clients can try between sessions. Trauma-Focused approaches aim to reduce the hold of past events without rushing the process. Sessions are led by the person seeking help and shaped around their goals. Anne uses reflective listening and clear, practical suggestions rather than technical language. She also pays attention to how childhood experiences and attachment patterns appear in present relationships. Anne is registered with NCPS, which is listed as her credential. She practices in the United Kingdom and runs work that is grounded in compassion and real-world changes people can make day to day.

How Anne’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they relate to others and practise new ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding from the person's point of view, giving space to talk through concerns and decide next steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy gently addresses the impact of past events and works towards reducing symptoms linked to those experiences. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will collaborate to choose or adapt methods that fit. This means the plan can change as progress is made and as the person's priorities shift. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and daily life, and it can allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also reduce travel time and help people keep momentum between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, grounding techniques and conversational therapy to work well through remote sessions, while keeping the focus on clear steps and achievable goals.
