About Anthony

Anthony Welsh is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. He focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and long-term illness, and is available to talk through concerns related to relationships, stress and coping with life changes.

He uses conversational, down-to-earth sessions that let people say what matters to them. He aims to help people feel more in control of their reactions and choices. He can bring creative elements into sessions when that helps someone explain themselves more easily.

Anthony trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

His work draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and take meaningful action despite them. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships shape current patterns. Narrative and existential influences help people make sense of their story and what matters to them now.

Sessions are practical and focused on what someone wants to change. Anthony encourages straightforward goals and checks in on progress. He works in English and does not take international clients, so bookings are for people based in the United Kingdom.

How Anthony uses therapy approaches in online work

Anthony commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred practice. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, phobias and low mood. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and communication, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related issues.

He treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try different ways of working, and check what helps. That means practical adjustments can be made as the work progresses rather than fixing a single method in advance.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and home commitments and reducing travel time. If you need to know which session formats are available for scheduling, please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can also be adapted so sessions are quieter or shorter when that suits someone's day-to-day life.
