About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and other concerns such as depression, addiction, grief and sleep problems. He approaches newcomers with straightforward support and encouragement for taking the first step towards therapy.
He works from the view that clients are the experts on their own lives and carry strengths that can be used to move through hard times. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon. Anthony aims to create a calm space where people can talk openly about what is worrying them and try things that might help.
His background includes work across a variety of emotional and behavioural difficulties, including attachment issues, communication problems, dissociation, and gender identity matters. He also supports people dealing with substance difficulties, domestic violence history, and the fallout from separation and infidelity. That range of experience informs flexible planning in sessions.
Anthony uses approaches such as client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to structure conversations and action. He also draws on solution-focused ways to help people set measurable steps and on trauma-focused ideas when past events affect present life. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
If you think you might benefit from talking things through, the next step is to start a short matching questionnaire and arrange a session that suits your schedule.
How Anthony uses talking therapies online
Client-centred therapy is about listening and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor reflects back what he hears and helps clients notice their own strengths and choices. This approach suits people who want a calm space to make sense of feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It breaks big problems into smaller steps and uses straightforward tasks to test new ways of thinking or acting. This can help with anxiety, panic and low mood by giving practical strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anthony will talk with each person about their goals, needs and what feels most helpful. He aims to agree on a plan that mixes listening, practical tools and short experiments that match the client’s pace.
