About Anthony
Anthony Roots is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He also supports those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sexuality and identity. Anthony uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients take the first steps toward change.
He has four years of professional experience, including time working in the NHS and in independent practice. That background means he is familiar with everyday pressures and with navigating services alongside clients when needed.
Background and approach
Anthony is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, which is listed in his credentials. Sessions aim to be open and non-judgemental. He encourages honest talk about difficult feelings and works at a pace people can manage.
Practical coping ideas are offered alongside chances to reflect on patterns that keep problems going. Anthony also addresses concerns such as chronic pain and long-term illness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and struggles with life purpose or midlife change. He listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the work to those priorities.
People can expect clear, plain language in sessions and help making small changes that add up. Anthony frames progress as a series of steps, not an instant fix, and supports each person to build on what already works for them.
Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Anthony uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life problems and practical coping skills. One common approach helps people learn specific strategies to manage anxiety and panic symptoms, such as breathing work and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. This is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety and phobias.Another strand of work focuses on understanding trauma and its effects, helping people process difficult experiences at a manageable pace while building safety and emotional regulation skills. That kind of approach can support recovery from post-traumatic stress and long-term effects of abuse.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then adapts methods to what suits the person best. Clients take part in choosing techniques and reviewing progress as therapy continues.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit around work or caregiving. These options help people keep continuity of care and fit sessions into busy lives.
