About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, and those dealing with relationship and family problems. He also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, grief, sleep problems and issues related to gender or sexuality.
Anthony speaks English and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in his credentials. Anthony places the person’s experience at the centre of his work.
Background and approach
He listens without judgement and helps people name what feels hard. From there he works with each person to set practical goals and try small, manageable steps that can make a real difference day to day. His approach draws on client-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural strategies to break unhelpful patterns.
He also uses solution-focused techniques to identify strengths and workable steps, and trauma-focused methods when past harm is part of someone’s story. Sessions are practical and collaborative rather than just talking about feelings. People can expect straightforward conversations and tools they can use between sessions.
Anthony aims to make sessions feel calm and paced to the person’s needs. He encourages people to move at a speed that feels safe while still working towards change. If someone is ready to try therapy, Anthony suggests beginning with a short matching questionnaire and then booking a session.
The process is aimed at finding the right fit and building a plan that matches each person’s goals and day-to-day life.

Online support
He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, often called CBT, to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT focuses on small experiments and changes that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and lift low mood by changing how someone thinks and what they do day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony treats determining the best fit as a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and adjust methods as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit a fuller face-to-face style, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit sessions around work, family life or other commitments.
