About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. He works with clients facing addictions, bereavement, sleeping problems and career strain. Anthony also supports people dealing with identity and LGBT matters, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
He practises using a client-centred approach that treats the person, not the problem. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and on their own strengths. Anthony also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused methods when these are helpful.
Anthony has eight years of professional experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He sees the decision to try therapy as an important first step and aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.
In sessions he listens without rushing and encourages clear, practical steps between meetings. That can include working on thoughts and behaviours, setting small goals, or learning ways to manage distress after trauma. He aims to tailor the work to each person's needs and pace.
People who contact him can expect a calm, non-judgemental approach. The focus is on understanding what you want to change and building on what already works in your life. If you want to explore next steps, completing the initial matching process will begin the practical arrangements.
How Anthony’s approaches work in online therapy
Anthony uses client-centred work to place the client’s perspective at the heart of planning. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, follows the client’s priorities and builds on existing strengths to help people manage stress, relationship strain or loss. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small, practical changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past experiences continue to cause distress; it aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and teach ways to manage strong reactions. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then test different methods together. This collaborative process lets the client shape the pace and focus of therapy. For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings to suit their routine, while others choose longer conversations. The aim is to make therapy fit your life so you can use it consistently.Areas of expertise
