About Anne
Anne Thorpe trained in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional counselling experience. She practises in an integrative way, blending different theories and techniques to suit each person she meets. Anne emphasises practical work and clear conversation so people can make steady changes.

Background and approach
Anne uses straightforward approaches to help people manage day-to-day life and cope with change. Anne believes the person is the expert in their own story and draws on each person’s strengths. In sessions she aims to create a calm space for talking through problems and trying new ways of responding.
The work often includes setting small goals, building coping strategies and practising different ways of thinking and behaving. Her background includes leading an all-women group for people with experience of domestic abuse and counselling people who were homeless and struggling with daily life. Those roles shaped her practical focus and understanding of complex situations.
She aims to offer steady support while people work toward clearer routines and improved wellbeing. Practical matters such as sleep, dealing with anger or handling relationship stress are addressed in simple steps. Anne encourages slow, manageable changes so people can build confidence and move towards a more comfortable life.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online access
Anne works in an integrative way, drawing on evidence-based techniques to meet each person’s needs. One common approach she uses is problem-focused work that breaks larger issues into small, manageable steps; this helps with stress, sleep problems and daily routines. Another helpful strand is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, anger and addictive behaviours, often using short exercises to practise between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss different options, and agree a plan together that fits a person’s goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan stays helpful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical benefits that suit many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick updates, ongoing support between sessions or when someone finds writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
