About Anne
NCPS. 12 years' experience. Anne Craven works from an integrative counselling approach that combines client-centred principles, solution-focused techniques, trauma-focused work and elements of Jungian thinking. She sees people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood difficulties and the effects of past abuse or trauma. Sessions aim to be practical and to help people find ways to cope day to day.
Anne uses client-centred methods to prioritise what each person brings to sessions and to help them feel heard. Solution-focused work is used to identify small, practical steps that can change how someone copes between sessions. Trauma-focused methods, including inner child work, are applied when the impact of past events is a central concern.
She has worked with people affected by childhood trauma and adult trauma, including those with post-traumatic stress symptoms and dissociation. Anne also supports people struggling with personality and mood difficulties, addictions, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related problems.
In practice she combines talking work with structured tasks and short-term goal setting. The approach includes attention to attachment patterns and to deeper material that can come up through Jungian ideas about inner images and personal symbols. This gives options for both practical change and deeper reflection.
Anne practises in the United Kingdom and carries the NCPS credential. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How Anne applies therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Anne uses client-centred counselling to place the client's concerns and priorities at the heart of work. This method involves open listening and reflecting what the person says so they can clarify goals and make practical choices; it helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and life decisions.She also uses trauma-focused therapy and inner child work when past events are affecting current functioning. This approach looks at the impact of traumatic experiences and offers ways of processing difficult memories and reactions, which can help with PTSD symptoms, dissociation and long-standing attachment difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client's goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as understanding grows. Clients can expect a mix of talking, focused tasks and short-term goal-setting to test what helps.
