Eirini Anane-Crane, BACP

Eirini Anane-Crane brings a decade of professional experience in counselling and psychotherapy, grounded in both academic study and hands-on practice. She holds an MA in counselling and psychotherapy and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Over the last 10 years she has worked across multiple settings, including face-to-face therapy, helpline and online counselling, group work, and mental health crisis services.

Eirini supports people facing a wide range of complex challenges such as perinatal mental health concerns, depression, past abuse and trauma, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, and cultural or relational issues. Her practice also encompasses areas like addictions, grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, eating and body image concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She has particular experience offering counselling related to pregnancy, miscarriage, and terminations, and has used play therapy with children under 15 to promote early emotional wellbeing.

Her clinical approach is integrative, rooted in a person-centered core with trauma-informed understanding and attention to attachment theory, keeping the therapeutic relationship central to the work. In addition to direct practice, Eirini works in clinical leadership roles in mental health crisis services, provides clinical supervision and development coaching for volunteers, and teaches counselling and psychology.

Eirini places the client at the center of the process, viewing each person as the expert on their own experience. She collaborates with clients to identify approaches that suit their needs, and views the therapeutic relationship itself as a key part of healing. Taking the first step to seek support is seen as an important act of strength, and she welcomes the opportunity to accompany people on that journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Eirini Anane-Crane

Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client's perspective and personal experience. It focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client explores feelings and choices, useful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by developing new coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

Eirini approaches therapy collaboratively, recognising that finding the right method is part of the work. She will explore a client’s needs, goals, and preferences together with them to determine the best fit, and adapt techniques over time as the therapeutic relationship develops.

Online therapy with Eirini is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling, and allow ongoing connection with licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit each client’s life.
