Anne Craven, NCPS

Anne Craven is a registered therapist with more than 12 years of clinical experience, working with people who have faced a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She practices in an integrative way that blends client-centered, humanistic, solution-focused and trauma-informed techniques, and she includes inner child work when addressing long-standing wounds. Anne is registered with NCPS, a professional registration for counselling and psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to ongoing standards and professional development.

Her practice focuses on helping people recover from childhood and adult trauma, including presentations of post-traumatic stress, personality and mood disorders, low self-esteem and addictive behaviours. Anne combines practical, goal-oriented strategies with a compassionate, relational stance to help clients explore the roots of their difficulties while developing clearer coping skills and healthier patterns of relating.

Anne works with issues across relationships, family dynamics, grief, intimacy and parenting, and she supports clients facing sleep and eating concerns, career pressures and the stress of life transitions. Her approach aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can make meaningful changes at a pace that suits them.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Anne draws on several complementary approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for the client's experience and supports self-directed growth through active listening and empathy; it is helpful for building self-esteem and improving emotional clarity. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how early attachment experiences influence current trust, intimacy and connection - this approach can be especially useful for relationship difficulties and issues around abandonment.

Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of traumatic events with techniques that help process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Anne blends trauma-focused methods with relational and client-centered work to tailor interventions to each person, collaborating with clients to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. She frames therapeutic direction as a shared process and adapts the plan as the work unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or during travel, and choose the format that best fits an individual's communication style and daily life. Registered professionals can use these methods effectively to support progress over time.
