Anne Thorpe, BACP

Anne Thorpe trained and gained her counselling qualifications in the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She works in an integrative way, combining different theories and techniques to match what each person needs. Anne presents as a calm and practical counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for people feeling stuck.

She helps people with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and difficulties around relationships and self-esteem. Anne also offers support for coping with life changes, grief, sleep problems, anger, addictions, family concerns and ADHD-related challenges. Her background includes leading an all-women group supporting those affected by domestic abuse and counselling people who were experiencing homelessness.

Anne believes clients are the experts in their own lives and that therapy builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, setting achievable goals and practising ways to manage difficult feelings and situations. Conversations are direct but compassionate, aiming to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Her integrative practice means techniques are selected to fit each person rather than following one strict method. Anne pays attention to practical coping tools alongside exploring patterns in relationships and behaviour. She invites people to move at their own pace and to try small steps between sessions.

People considering therapy can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and support for real problems. Anne aims to help clients find more hope and clearer choices as they work towards change.

How Anne’s approaches can work online

Anne describes her practice as integrative, which means she combines different evidence-based techniques to suit the person. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression and low mood. Behavioural techniques concentrate on practical actions and routines, such as sleep planning or graded activity, to reduce symptoms and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree on methods to try. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques if something is not helpful.

Many people find that arranging therapy around their daily life helps sessions fit into work and family routines. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, save travel time and keep continuity of care during busy periods. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they suit remote or in-person settings, helping therapy feel practical and relevant to everyday life.
