About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress and anxiety. He also works with clients on relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and related concerns. Anthony uses a straightforward, respectful approach and encourages people to recognise their own strengths as part of change.
He begins by listening carefully to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on small, practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Anthony aims to make conversations clear and down to earth rather than full of jargon. Anthony draws on client-centred ways of working, which put the person’s experience at the centre of the session. He blends this with cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and solution-focused work to set achievable goals.
For people with difficult memories, he also uses trauma-focused approaches to support recovery from past harm. He has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. That background informs his calm, steady style and his focus on real-life outcomes like better sleep, clearer communication, and reduced worry.
People who choose to work with Anthony can expect a collaborative conversation about goals, pacing, and what methods will suit them best. He encourages gradual progress and focuses on practical skills that can be used between sessions.
How Anthony's approaches work online
Client-centred work focuses on what the person says matters most and on building a trusting conversation. It helps people feel heard and shapes the pace and topics of sessions around their lived experience.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and small tasks to test new ways of coping with anxiety and stress.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and identifying strengths and resources. It is useful when someone wants quick, practical steps to improve daily routines, relationships or sleep.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide with the person what best fits their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing and can fit into busy schedules or be used between sessions for brief updates.
