Eirini Anane-Crane , BACP

Eirini Anane-Crane uses a person-centred approach to help people find clarity and calm. She combines client-centred principles with clear, practical techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Eirini draws on ten years of experience working in counselling, crisis services and helplines. She practices in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English and Greek.

Her sessions focus on everyday problems as well as complex issues. She helps with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, grief and loss, and questions around identity and body image. Addictions, eating concerns and bipolar difficulties are also within her scope alongside career and money worries.

Eirini trained to an MA level in counselling and psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work in clinical leadership, peer-led services and provision of helpline and online counselling. She also supervises volunteers and teaches counselling and psychology.

Her way of working keeps the therapeutic relationship at the centre. Sessions are collaborative - the person in front of her decides the priorities. She uses trauma-aware and attachment-informed thinking to guide how she listens and responds.

She has particular experience supporting perinatal concerns, pregnancy loss and termination-related distress, and has worked with culturally diverse clients. Eirini also has practice delivering play-based interventions for children under 15 and bespoke counselling in criminal justice settings.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, helps people find their own solutions and follows the pace set by the client. This suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship struggles and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear techniques and short exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions. It helps people notice unhelpful patterns and respond with more calm. Mindfulness can support emotional regulation, stress reduction and improved focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities, and then agree which methods to try. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can change if needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter, timely exchanges or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
