Eirini Anane-Crane

Eirini Anane-Crane is a counsellor with ten years' experience working across mental health services. She holds an MA in counseling and psychotherapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her work is rooted in person-centred practice and she speaks English and Greek.

Eirini focuses on practical, straightforward conversations about difficult issues. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, and challenges around self-esteem. She also supports those facing parenting strains, addictions, career pressure, and matters connected to identity and culture.

Her approach combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness ideas. Eirini aims to build a dependable therapeutic relationship and uses those methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and develop clearer coping skills. She describes the person in therapy as the expert of their experience and works collaboratively to find what fits.

Beyond direct counselling, Eirini has experience in mental health crisis services, helpline and online support, clinical leadership, and supervision. She has supported people through pregnancy-related losses and used play therapy with children under 15 for early emotional work. Eirini also has experience providing culturally appropriate and BAME-focused therapy.

People who choose to work with her typically begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred, CBT and mindfulness approaches work online

Eirini draws on client-centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people feel understood so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try practical changes to reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and sensations with less judgement, which can help with anxiety, stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eirini treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client agree which methods to try and adapt them as needed during the course of therapy.

The biography confirms experience with helpline and online counselling but does not list specific current session formats, so please check which formats are offered before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow people to join from wherever they are based. They can also make shorter check-ins simpler and let you use therapeutic tools such as mindfulness exercises between meetings.
