About Anthony

Anthony Roots is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He aims to make the first step less daunting by offering calm, steady support and practical ways to move forward.

Anthony presents himself as approachable and non-judgemental to help people speak openly about difficult feelings. He draws on four years of professional practice that include time working within the NHS and in independent practice.

Background and approach

That experience means he is familiar with a range of common difficulties, from panic and mood problems to relationship and sexuality concerns. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the person in front of him. Anthony works to create a safe space where people can reflect on their experiences and consider different ways to cope.

He listens, asks straightforward questions, and offers gentle challenges when needed. The aim is to build practical tools and small changes that make daily life easier. He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness and disability, feelings of guilt or shame, isolation, midlife questions, and men’s issues.

Anthony is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and people start by completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Anthony lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Anthony uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding patterns. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then practising new ways to respond; this can reduce panic, social anxiety and persistent worry. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and difficult memories in small steps, allowing emotional reactions to be noticed and managed without becoming overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options with each person and agree on a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helping as expected.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit brief updates or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities and day-to-day routines.
