Anne Craven
Compassionate therapist blending attachment and trauma work
About Anne
Anne Craven is a counsellor with 12 years of practice. She works in the United Kingdom and brings a calm, down-to-earth style to sessions. Anne uses a mix of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work can help when abandonment, attachment issues or intimacy concerns make relationships hard. Anne also uses client-centred methods to focus on each person's experience and goals in the moment.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused techniques are part of her approach when past abuse or traumatic events keep affecting daily life. Those methods aim to reduce distress from traumatic memories and help people reconnect with day-to-day living. Solution-focused work helps set practical goals and find small steps that feel manageable.
Anne has worked with a wide range of issues including addictions, bipolar mood concerns, depression, grief and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports people facing career stress, caregiver strain, communication problems and the fallout from separation or divorce. ADHD and compassion fatigue are included among her focus areas.
Her registration is NCPS, which she uses alongside those therapeutic approaches. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in various formats. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Sessions & fees
How attachment and trauma approaches translate online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect feelings and behaviour now. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify patterns such as abandonment or avoidance and to practise new ways of relating. This approach can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and communication problems.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist listens without judgement, mirrors what she hears and helps people clarify their own priorities. That style is useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or decide on next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as work progresses. This makes the process collaborative and responsive to each person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for a full conversational session and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing support or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
