Eirini Anane-CraneBACP

Eirini Anane-Crane is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through difficult life stages. She combines a person-centred way of working with trauma-aware practice to help clients feel heard and understood. She has particular experience around pregnancy and childbirth issues, and has provided counselling after miscarriage and termination. Her background includes an MA in counselling and psychotherapy and roles in mental health crisis services. She has offered both face-to-face and helpline or online counselling, and has worked with groups as well as individuals. She also works as a clinical supervisor, development coach for volunteers, and a lecturer in counselling and psychology. In sessions she focuses on practical steps that people can use straight away. Conversations centre on the client's experience, and she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress, anxiety and grounding in the moment. She has experience supporting people after past abuse, with depression, bipolar difficulties, trauma, addictions and grief. Other areas she often helps with include self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, career and money worries, and multicultural challenges. She has worked with perinatal concerns and has used play therapy with children under 15 as an early intervention. Her practice emphasises a respectful, culturally aware approach and an understanding of attachment and abandonment issues. Eirini speaks English and Greek, and she accepts international clients. Sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely and helps people identify what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. Together they try things, check what is helpful, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine and removes travel time. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed or make regular weekly sessions simpler to maintain. The biography notes experience with helpline and online counselling, but prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support remotely while helping people manage stress, perinatal concerns and everyday challenges.
