About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and sleep difficulties. He brings eight years of professional experience and works from the view that clients are the experts in their own lives. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage.
In sessions he keeps the focus practical and person-centred. He listens first, then helps people notice strengths they already have. He uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from solution-focused work to build small, achievable steps forward.
Anthony also draws on trauma-focused ideas when past events are affecting day-to-day life. He will look for ways to reduce symptoms affecting sleep, mood and relationships while pacing work so it feels safe. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real concerns rather than clinical jargon.
He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and has practised for eight years across different settings. That experience informs a flexible approach that balances practical strategies with attentive listening.
People who contact him are usually looking for clear ways to manage anxiety, improve rest, work through grief or address relationship problems. He encourages a collaborative process where the person sets goals and he offers methods to reach them.
How Anthony’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them make sense of their feelings. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk through what’s happening.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It involves practical exercises and simple tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and change routines that affect sleep and mood. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
He will work together with each person to find the best mix of approaches. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on what the person wants to achieve and what feels manageable. The therapist checks in regularly and adapts plans as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before you book, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and they can reduce travel time. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins, while others support longer therapeutic work - Anthony will discuss which fits your needs during the first steps.
