About Anne

Anne Thorpe works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, grief and sleep problems using an integrative approach that blends different theories and techniques. She trained in the UK and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with five years of professional experience.

Anne aims to work with people who want practical ways to manage day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on talking through current difficulties, identifying helpful coping strategies, and building on existing strengths. She uses straightforward language and keeps sessions focused on clear goals.

Her background includes running an all-women group for people with experience of domestic abuse and offering counselling to people who were homeless and facing day-to-day struggles. That work involved short-term practical support alongside talking therapy.

Anne describes the counselling relationship as collaborative. She helps clients decide which ideas and techniques might suit their situation and adapts her approach as needs change. This flexibility is part of her integrative working style.

People considering counselling can expect calm, structured sessions that combine listening with practical steps. Anne supports clients to notice small changes and to try strategies between sessions when that is helpful.

She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Before booking, confirm current session options through the service’s booking process.

How integrative approaches are used in online counselling

Anne describes an integrative way of working, which means blending compatible therapeutic techniques to suit a person’s needs. For example, she may use problem-focused strategies to help manage anxiety and low mood, such as practical exercises and step-by-step plans that target everyday difficulties.

She also draws on approaches that help with relationships and coping with life changes. These methods focus on identifying patterns in how someone relates to others, and on trying new ways of communicating and responding that can reduce conflict and improve day-to-day interactions.

Deciding which combination of approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. Clients can expect to work together on what feels helpful and to review techniques regularly.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same conversational and practical work online as in person, helping clients apply strategies between sessions and monitor small changes over time.
