About Anthony

Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, and those affected by trauma and abuse. He also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems and the pressures of parenting and work.

Anthony works in a straightforward, conversational way. He sees clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps that can help reduce distress. Sessions are centred on what a person wants to change and on small, manageable actions to try between meetings.

He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses. He also uses Solution-Focused methods to clarify goals and find workable next steps.

Anthony has experience supporting people with attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and communication problems. He also works with those coping with control issues, dissociation, separation, domestic violence, substance difficulties, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom. Before booking, clients are asked to confirm current session options and practical arrangements via the online intake and scheduling tools.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits in

Anthony commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to a person's perspective and responding to what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and practical steps to change behaviours and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anthony will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and he will adjust the plan as those goals change over time.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around busy days, having shorter or longer check-ins when needed, and choosing quieter surroundings that reduce interruptions. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so clients should confirm current online options before booking. The therapist and client will agree on a format and session length that match the client's needs and daily routine.
