About Anne
Anne Craven is a registered therapist with NCPS and has practised for 12 years in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and parenting strain. She also works with trauma, relationship difficulties and problems with self esteem.
Her practice draws on client-centred and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and grounded. She uses trauma-focused work when past harm is affecting daily life. Jungian-informed thinking and attachment-based ideas appear in her approach when relevant to a person's history and relationships.
Sessions move at a steady pace. Anne helps people name what is happening, notice patterns and try small changes. She often focuses on how early relationships affect current reactions and on building clearer communication around difficult topics like intimacy or grief.
Anne has experience helping people with a wide range of concerns. These include mood disorders, PTSD and personality difficulties, as well as sleep and eating struggles. She also supports those dealing with career strain, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.
Her work tends to be practical and relational. Anne will listen for what matters most, suggest simple strategies, and review progress together. People who want to address parenting pressure, recover from past hurt or reduce ongoing anxiety often find this approach useful.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions. It helps when patterns from childhood make current relationships or parenting more difficult. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting presence while they sort out feelings. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the impact of past harm. It aims to help people manage intrusive memories, emotional triggers and ongoing stress related to traumatic events.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few ways of working and checking what helps over time. The emphasis is on practical steps and on adjusting the plan as things change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue therapeutic work while managing family and work commitments, with choices about session length and timing that suit everyday life.
