About Anthony

Anthony Horsburgh works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict and trauma and abuse. He uses a person-centred way of working and believes people bring strengths that help them move through difficult times. Anthony is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has eight years of professional experience.

Anthony keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what matters most and helps clients set clear goals. He combines client-centred listening with approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work to address everyday problems and low mood.

When trauma or abuse is part of a person's story he uses trauma-focused methods alongside paced, collaborative planning. That work is broken down into small steps so people can manage what they address and when.

Anthony also works on issues connected to identity and relationships, including LGBT matters, gender dysphoria, and challenges around communication, infidelity and separation. He supports people with addiction concerns, sleeping problems, grief and compassion fatigue, using practical strategies to reduce distress.

Parents and those juggling work and caring roles can expect short, clear sessions that focus on next steps. Anthony encourages small changes that fit into everyday life and reviews progress regularly to make sure the work stays relevant.

Sessions are held in English and his practice is based in the United Kingdom. People who wish to begin are asked to use the site process to match with a counsellor and schedule an initial appointment.

How his approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship, helping people clarify what matters and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours, teaching practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy breaks difficult memories into manageable pieces and uses paced work to reduce the hold of past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. He treats this as a shared decision and adjusts the way they work as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online sessions, check the site process to confirm the session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring responsibilities and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and offer flexible ways to stay in touch between appointments, depending on the session formats available.
