Background and approach

From there he helps set small goals and practices that fit into everyday life. This approach is useful when anxiety or panic attacks make daily routines hard to manage. Anthony draws on client-centred work to keep the conversation grounded in what the person wants.

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them in real situations. Together these approaches aim to reduce overwhelm and increase confident choices. His background includes supporting people through grief and life changes, and helping with issues such as body image, isolation and guilt.

He also works with men facing midlife concerns and supports people with chronic illness in coping with ongoing strain. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He encourages people to start with a short matching process to find practical, achievable steps they can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Anthony works with client-centred therapy which means he follows the client's lead and aims to build on their strengths. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make decisions at their own pace.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety and to try out practical changes. CBT involves simple exercises and behaviour experiments that can reduce panic attacks and social anxiety over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the mix of methods to the person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and starts with small, achievable aims.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between meetings.
