Anne Thorpe

Anne Thorpe is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She trained in the UK and uses an integrative approach, blending different theories and techniques to suit each person. She aims to support people who feel stuck and wants to help them take the next step toward a more fulfilling life.

She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and she offers help for relationship worries and low self-esteem. Anne also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, sleep difficulties, ADHD and anger. Her background includes running an all-women group for survivors of domestic abuse and counselling people who were experiencing homelessness.

Anne treats people as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens, asks questions and helps clients try practical steps that suit their situation. She keeps language straightforward and avoids jargon so conversations are easy to follow.

Her way of working is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Initial steps often focus on understanding what is most urgent, then setting small, manageable goals. Over time the work may broaden to include thinking patterns, coping skills and practical changes for daily life.

For someone feeling overwhelmed by anger, loss or life change, Anne offers calm, practical support aimed at steady improvement. She encourages people to name what matters and to try things that can make everyday life feel more manageable.

How Anne’s approaches translate to online support

Anne uses an integrative way of working that combines well-known, evidence-informed techniques to meet particular needs. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural steps; this can help with anxiety, low mood and anger by making problems feel more manageable. Another approach centres on building coping skills and routine changes to improve sleep, daily functioning and stress management; this is practical work aimed at small, steady improvements.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be a shared decision. The therapist will talk through what feels most relevant, try out a method, and adapt things if it does not fit. That collaborative stance helps people to get a clearer sense of what works for them.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit conversations into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have a brief check-in or a longer session without needing to leave home, and it can suit people who need flexible timing. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking so timing and length match your needs.
