About Anthony

Anthony Roots is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. He also supports people living with ADHD and those struggling with mood difficulties, panic attacks, and social anxiety. He aims to make it easier to take the first step toward change and a more fulfilling life.

Roots draws on four years of professional practice that includes NHS and personal work.

Background and approach

He creates a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress and on finding practical ways to cope day to day. In conversations he listens closely and reflects what he hears.

That helps people notice patterns and see small options they might try between sessions. He encourages realistic, step-by-step goals rather than sudden big fixes. Anthony is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP.

That is the credential listed in his profile and denotes his professional registration in the UK. People often come wanting help with pain, guilt, loneliness, life purpose, or issues around sexuality. Roots supports those topics using evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs.

He explains the approach and works together to choose what fits best. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. He offers remote formats including video, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different routines and preferences.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Many clients benefit from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach uses structured conversations to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and then tests small experiments to change them; this can help with anxiety, panic and mood problems. Another approach emphasises telling and processing difficult memories safely, helping people who have experienced trauma or abuse to reduce the intensity of distressing memories.

Deciding which approach to try is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will choose methods to try and review progress, adapting the plan as needed so it stays useful and manageable.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is required. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, daily support and people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and other commitments, while keeping the focus on what helps most.
