Anne Craven, NCPS

Anne Craven is a counsellor with NCPS who has practised for 12 years. She works in an integrative way, centring the person in the room and tailoring the approach to each person's needs. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward, helping people talk through painful experiences and find practical steps forward.

She draws on client-centred and attachment-based approaches to build trusting dialogue about early relationships and how they affect present life. Jungian ideas and trauma-focused work inform how she looks at deeper patterns and past wounds. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and notice change as it happens.

Anne has experience supporting people who have lived with childhood and adult trauma, including post-traumatic stress. She has worked with issues such as mood disorders, personality difficulties, addictions, low self-esteem and grief. She also helps with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and life changes.

Sessions aim to combine listening with practical tools. That might mean mapping relationship patterns, exploring early attachments, or trying small behavioural steps to improve sleep or day-to-day coping. The pace is set by the person in therapy and by their current needs.

Her practice emphasises steady, clear conversation and a focus on workable change. People come for help with immediate problems and to make sense of longer-term patterns. Anne encourages people to bring what matters to them and to work collaboratively on next steps.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can be a place to talk through those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and the person’s own resources; in practice this means the counsellor follows the client's pace and helps them find their own answers. Jungian Therapy attends to symbols, dreams and deeper patterns that can help people make sense of recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to emphasise and how to blend them over time, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as these are not specified here. Many people find online therapy useful because it fits around daily life, reduces travel time and makes it easier to attend short check-ins. Online sessions can also support steady progress when people are managing ongoing stress, sleep problems or trauma-related symptoms and want regular contact with their counsellor.
