About Anne
BACP. Five years' professional experience. Anne Thorpe is a BACP counsellor who trained in the UK and has practised for five years. She works in an integrative way, blending different theories and techniques to suit what each client needs. Her main areas of work include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing life changes, addictions, grief, sleeping problems, anger and ADHD.
Anne describes clients as the experts of their own lives and focuses on helping them draw on their strengths. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what is useful and doable between meetings. She aims to be direct and respectful in the counselling room, helping people identify small steps that can make day-to-day life more manageable.
Her background includes running an all-women group for survivors of domestic abuse. She has also provided counselling to people who were homeless and coping with daily practical challenges. These roles have informed her work with complex and practical life issues.
Anne uses an integrative approach so methods may vary across clients and concerns. She will select techniques that fit the presenting issue and the person’s preferences rather than using a single fixed method. This means sessions can include discussion, practical coping strategies and focused work on specific problems.
Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to make sure they suit their needs. To begin, follow the site process to complete the matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Anne works in an integrative way, so sessions often draw on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioural methods and brief skills-based approaches. Cognitive-behavioural ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems. Skills-based work concentrates on straightforward coping strategies, problem solving and behavioural changes to reduce stress and manage cravings or anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree together which techniques to try. This collaborative process helps make sure the methods used fit the person and the problem rather than following one fixed model.
Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when schedules change. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and make it easier to attend shorter check-ins or regular meetings, while others prefer an in-person arrangement if offered by the counsellor or registered professionals in the area.
