Eirini Anane-Crane, BACP

Counsellor Eirini Anane-Crane is a BACP member with ten years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and other concerns listed in her profile. She offers support in English and Greek and takes international clients from the United Kingdom.

She uses a client-centred approach at the heart of her work. That means conversations focus on what the person brings and the therapist follows their pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with patterns of thinking and behaviour, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment noticing skills.

Her background includes academic study to MA level in counselling and psychotherapy and work across helplines, clinical settings and community services. She has experience in mental health crisis services, peer-led projects and the criminal justice system. She also provides clinical supervision, volunteer development and lecturing in counselling and psychology.

In sessions she helps people talk through loss, parenting stresses, cultural and identity concerns, body image and attachment-related difficulties. She has supported people through pregnancy loss and perinatal matters, and has used play approaches with children under 15 when early intervention is needed.

Eirini aims to build a working relationship that lets people try different ways of coping and thinking. She sees the person as expert in their own experience and works collaboratively to find helpful next steps. Practical coping skills and clearer thinking are common focuses alongside emotional processing.
