About Anthony

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 8 years of experience. Anthony Horsburgh helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns and trauma and abuse. He uses person-centred ideas and practical methods to support change, and works from the view that clients know their experience best.

Anthony focuses on clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress. He asks straightforward questions and listens for strengths a person can use. Sessions include practical steps and short-term strategies when useful, plus space to talk about painful or complicated history.

He draws on client-centred therapy to follow what each person brings into the room. He also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and build different ways of responding. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress.

Over eight years Anthony has helped people with depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems and parenting strain as well as issues around identity such as LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria. He also works with related areas like attachment, communication problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Anthony invites people to notice what already works and to try simple experiments between meetings. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then books an initial session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following what a person brings. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what is said, clarifies priorities, and helps the client identify their own strengths and choices. It suits people who want to be led by their own concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. Online sessions using CBT often include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behaviour changes, and reviewing what worked between meetings. This can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree on methods with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online meetings to maintain continuity of care and keep regular appointments.
