Eirini Anane-Crane

Eirini Anane-Crane is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, eating and other life challenges. She holds an MA in counselling and psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Greek.

Her approach centres on the person in front of her. She uses a client-centred core and blends elements from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to suit individual needs. The therapeutic relationship is presented as the main tool, and she aims to help people feel heard and understood before introducing techniques.

She has worked across clinical and voluntary sectors, including crisis services, helplines and community counselling. That background informs practical support for issues such as depression, bereavement, perinatal concerns, past abuse and trauma, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with culturally appropriate work and BAME-related concerns.

Eirini supports people with a wide range of concerns linked to relationships, self-esteem, identity and life transitions. These include body image and eating difficulties, attachment and abandonment worries, communication or commitment problems, and strains linked to caregiving or financial pressure. Her practice also covers addiction, bipolar distress, and grief.

Alongside clinical work she supervises volunteers, coaches for professional development and teaches counselling and psychology. Her style is collaborative and practical: she helps people identify small, workable steps and tools that fit their daily lives.

Combining client-centred work with CBT and mindfulness online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps when people need a space to talk about feelings, identity or relationship concerns without being directed. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect; it offers practical tools for anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, preferences and daily life. That may mean practising short breathing exercises together, trying CBT techniques between sessions, or spending sessions mainly listening and reflecting to build safety and clarity.

The biography does not specify particular session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time and access support from different locations. They also allow flexibility around work or childcare commitments and can enable shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when less screen time is needed.
