About Anthony

Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. He works with issues such as addictions, grief, sleeping problems, parenting pressures and career concerns. Anthony uses a straightforward style and aims to help people build on their own strengths.

He believes the person in front of him knows their life best. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, practical steps that make a difference day to day.

Background and approach

Anthony uses a mix of trauma-focused methods, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to support thinking and coping. Over eight years he has supported people through difficult transitions, loss, and problems with control, guilt and shame. He also works with issues linked to attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, dissociation and isolation.

That background informs how he tailors sessions to each person. Anthony holds BACP registration, which is listed as his professional credential. He offers sessions in English and works from a UK practice setting.

International clients are not currently accepted. Sessions may use video calls, telephone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what the client prefers. Costs vary with location and therapist arrangements and are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Anthony encourages people to take small first steps. He aims for clear goals, practical coping strategies and respectful listening during each session.

Ways of working Anthony names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Anthony’s approaches work online

Anthony combines trauma-focused work with client-centred listening to help people deal with past harm and its present effects. Trauma-focused therapy helps identify and gently process distressing memories and reactions so daily life becomes easier to manage. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person’s own view of their experience and offers empathic listening that shapes the work together.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches specific coping strategies. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, sleep problems, unhelpful thinking patterns and addictions by giving practical tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Anthony will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a collaborative plan. That means adjusting methods as progress is made and focusing on steps that suit each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from elsewhere, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and other commitments.
