About Anthony

Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression and addiction. He also supports people dealing with grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain and career worries. Anthony positions clients as the experts in their own experience and looks for existing strengths to build on.

He works with people who are exploring identity questions, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, and with those coping with isolation, guilt, shame or after infidelity.

Background and approach

Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and communication problems. Practical issues such as drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence and divorce or separation are also within his remit. Anthony uses a mix of approaches in sessions.

He draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person's perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals, and trauma-focused work when past harm affects daily life. With eight years of professional experience, Anthony aims to offer a calm and straightforward way of talking things through.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. His registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is noted as BACP. Starting therapy is treated as a collaborative step.

Anthony encourages small practical changes and clear goals, alongside paced reflection on difficult experiences. He aims for sessions that feel manageable and that fit into everyday life.

Ways of working Anthony names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on the person's own viewpoint and builds on their strengths. In online sessions this means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client's pace to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers simple exercises to test ideas and try new responses, which can be practised between remote sessions. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, realistic steps and clear goals so people can see progress quickly and measure changes in day-to-day life.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be adapted if something else would be more useful.

Online sessions here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone can be a good low-bandwidth alternative, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and to use methods like homework, short exercises and goal tracking between sessions.
