About Anne
Anne Craven is a counsellor with 12 years of practice who draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people manage depression and related concerns. She works in a warm, person-focused way and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful. Anne holds NCPS and provides support to people in the United Kingdom in English.
Her work blends client-centred listening with trauma-focused methods. That means sessions begin with the person's priorities and move at their pace.
Background and approach
When past experiences are affecting daily life, she uses approaches that look at those patterns and how they play out now. Anne also uses solution-focused techniques to help people find practical steps forward. These sessions often focus on small changes that add up, such as sleep routines or ways to cut through unhelpful thinking.
She brings in ideas from Jungian therapy when exploring deeper personal themes, dreams, or recurring life patterns. She has experience supporting people after childhood trauma, adult trauma and post-traumatic stress, and with mood and personality concerns. Anne also helps with anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.
Her style is steady and supportive, aiming to help people feel clearer about next steps. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Anne works with each person to choose a format that fits their life and goals, and uses a collaborative approach when planning therapy.

Online support
She also works in a client-centred way that puts the person’s priorities first. That involves careful listening, reflecting back what matters and letting the pace be set by the client. Solution-focused techniques are used alongside this to set short-term goals and practical steps, such as sleep changes or coping strategies for low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter updates or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel.
