About Anthony
Anthony Welsh is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people regain a sense of control over their mental health. He offers a warm, non-judgemental presence and listens carefully to what matters most to each person. People who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression or low self-esteem will find straightforward support and practical conversation.
He also welcomes concerns about grief, addiction, sleep or life changes. Anthony mixes a calm, creative style with plain talk.
Background and approach
He often uses clients' own values and stories to guide change rather than technical jargon. Sessions can include reflective conversation, practical strategies and creative exercises when helpful. The aim is to make work in therapy feel understandable and manageable.
He trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He is BACP registered, and brings five years of professional experience to his practice. That background shapes the way he notices patterns and helps people find new choices.
Anthony commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based approaches and Client-Centred ways of working, though he adapts the mix to each person's needs. He encourages realistic steps and honest conversation about what is getting in the way. Creative methods are used when they suit the client.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a clear, collaborative structure. Anthony aims to make therapy feel like a practical conversation about living better, not a series of tests or labels.
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Anthony often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes because it focuses on practical steps rather than getting stuck on difficult thoughts.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy and relationship worries. Client-centred work means the session follows the person’s pace, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help someone make sense of their experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. That collaborative planning guides which methods are used and when to try something different.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls give face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options let people choose how they want to engage while focusing on the same therapeutic aims.
