Anne Thorpe, BACP

Anne Thorpe trained and qualified in counselling in the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She works in an integrative way, blending theories and techniques to create a tailored approach that fits each client's needs and goals. This flexibility allows her to draw on different methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, addiction challenges, family issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD.

Anne believes that clients are the experts in their own stories and that they already possess strengths that can help them move through difficult times. She views the decision to seek support as a courageous first step and aims to provide steady, compassionate guidance through the process of change. Her background includes work with a variety of age groups and with people experiencing complex life circumstances. Notably, Anne has led an all-women support group for survivors of domestic abuse and has provided counselling to individuals who have experienced homelessness and struggled with daily living needs.

She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership in the principal UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Anne offers a supportive, strengths-based space where practical coping strategies and personal insight can be developed together.

Integrative approaches for online support

Anne uses an integrative approach that combines ideas and techniques from different therapies to suit each person's unique situation - this means sessions are tailored to the individual's needs rather than following a single rigid model. Integrative work can be helpful for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Alongside integration, Anne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and measurable change. These techniques aim to build coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen relationship skills, which can be useful for depression, addiction-related issues, and managing ADHD symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Anne collaborates with clients to identify which methods feel most relevant and effective, adjusting the plan as goals and needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy aligns with each person's preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Anne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to fit into everyday life more conveniently.
