Anne Thorpe, BACP

Anne Thorpe is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She trained and gained her counselling qualifications in the UK and works in an integrative way, combining ideas and techniques to suit each person. Her practice includes support for stress, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family concerns, grief, sleeping problems, anger and ADHD.

Anne treats adults as individuals and focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. She works collaboratively, listening to what a person already knows about their situation and helping them use their strengths. Sessions are direct and plain-speaking, aimed at reducing overwhelm and making day-to-day life more manageable.

Her background includes leading an all-women group for people who had experienced domestic abuse and counselling people who were homeless and struggling with daily routines. That work shaped her approach to practical problem-solving and steady support during crises.

In sessions Anne blends different therapeutic ideas rather than following a single method. She helps people talk through thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and plan small changes that can ease tension and build better habits. The focus is on clear steps a person can try between meetings.

People who contact her are often looking to stop snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, or reduce long-standing resentment. Anne aims to help people name what’s behind their anger and find ways to respond that feel more controlled and less draining.
