Anne Thorpe , BACP

Anne Thorpe is a UK trained counsellor with five years of professional experience who works in an integrative way, blending different theories and techniques to suit each person's needs. She draws on evidence-based methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and low mood, adapting her approach to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

She has worked with a range of age groups and with people experiencing complex life challenges, including leading an all-women group for those with histories of domestic abuse and providing counselling for people who were homeless and struggling with day-to-day life. These roles have informed her practical, compassionate style and her focus on strengths and resilience.

Anne believes that clients are the experts in their own stories and that building on existing strengths is central to change. She recognises that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and she positions herself as a supportive collaborator in that process.

Anne Thorpe holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her practice aims to combine grounded techniques with a respectful, person-centred stance to help people manage difficulties and move toward their goals.

Integrative approaches and online therapy

Anne brings an integrative way of working that blends different evidence-based techniques to match each person's needs. Integrative therapy combines practical skills and reflective work - it can include structured strategies for managing symptoms alongside exploration of patterns and relationships that influence wellbeing. This flexibility makes it useful for issues like stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

In addition, Anne uses skills-based approaches that focus on building day-to-day coping strategies, such as techniques to manage anxiety, improve sleep and regulate strong emotions. These practical tools are paired with relational work to address relationship difficulties and family concerns, helping clients strengthen communication and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anne works with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy with Anne is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without travel, and allow work to continue through life transitions and changing routines.
