About Anthony

Anthony Horsburgh is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and questions around life purpose and career. He also supports issues like grief, sleep problems and parenting concerns. Anthony uses a straightforward, person-focused style. He treats people as experts in their own lives and helps them spot strengths they can use when things feel stuck. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and ways of talking that make difficult problems more manageable. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in sessions that look at thoughts and behaviours linked to mood and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want short-term practical goals and clear next steps. Anthony has worked across a range of concerns including trauma, addiction, gender and sexuality matters, and parenting stress. He also helps people with attachment issues, body image, communication problems, dissociation and the fallout from separation or infidelity. Practical matters such as how sessions are arranged and what to expect are discussed at first contact. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People who prefer to check options before booking are invited to use the site matching process to schedule an initial appointment.

How Anthony uses practical approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and aims to make sessions a place where someone’s views and feelings guide the work. It is useful for people who want to be listened to and to explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple steps to test new ways of responding. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and finding small changes that lead to practical improvement.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anthony will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may change as the work develops.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can also make it easier to continue therapy through life changes, and the therapist will help arrange a session rhythm that fits everyday routines.
