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 - blending theories and techniques to suit each person she supports, tailoring interventions to the needs and preferences of the individual.

Her practice includes work with people experiencing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, and a range of life changes. She has supported clients across different age groups and has particular experience facilitating an all-women group for survivors of domestic abuse as well as offering counselling to people who have experienced homelessness and acute day-to-day challenges.

Anne approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert of their own story and carries strengths that can be drawn on during change. She aims to offer a supportive working relationship that helps people take the often-difficult first steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling daily life.

Anne is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counselling practitioners in the UK.

Integrative and Strengths-Focused Approaches for Online Support

Anne Thorpe practices using an integrative approach - blending techniques and theories to create a tailored plan that fits each person's situation and goals. This flexible method allows her to draw on a range of evidence-based tools and adapt them to issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and coping with life changes.

Alongside integrative work, Anne emphasizes a strengths-based, person-centered stance that recognizes the client's own expertise in their story. This approach focuses on identifying existing resources and capabilities to build confidence and practical strategies for change, which can be especially helpful when navigating stress, grief, or addiction-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anne collaborates with clients to determine which techniques feel most useful, adjusting direction as needs, goals, and preferences evolve. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make this collaborative work more accessible, allowing greater flexibility around scheduling and location while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional who can guide progress.
