About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as depression, grief and addictions. He also supports issues linked to parenting, career questions and LGBT-related challenges, including gender dysphoria and identity matters.
Anthony’s approach treats the person as the expert on their own life. He uses client-centred conversations alongside practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. That means sessions combine open listening with concrete steps to try between meetings.
In sessions he focuses on what matters now - reducing unhelpful thinking patterns, improving communication, and managing emotional responses linked to trauma. He will talk through coping options, set small goals and review what helps in day-to-day life. For people dealing with sleep problems, addiction or compassion fatigue he attends to both immediate relief and longer term changes.
Anthony has worked across a range of presenting problems including attachment concerns, dissociation, body image, domestic violence, and separation after divorce. He helps people affected by drug and alcohol addiction and those coping with isolation or guilty feelings. He offers practical, stepwise support rather than quick fixes.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Anthony commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation focuses on the person’s own perspective, with the therapist reflecting back what matters and helping people clarify their thinking. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change thinking and behaviour to ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Anthony will work collaboratively to decide whether more exploratory, person-led sessions or structured CBT-style work fits a person’s goals. That decision is reviewed over the first few meetings and adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as current options are shown when you select to begin the matching process. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by making it easier to attend without travelling, allowing shorter check-ins where useful, and giving options that suit quieter surroundings or reduced screen time. Registered or accredited professionals offering online sessions often use these benefits to make regular work manageable alongside day-to-day commitments.
