Anthony Horsburgh

Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. He emphasises that clients know their experience best and brings a respectful, straightforward approach to sessions.

Anthony works from the belief that people already carry strengths that can help them move forward. He uses that as a starting point to build practical steps and clearer choices. He keeps conversations focused and grounded, so clients can notice small changes that matter.

Over eight years he has worked with a broad range of concerns including body image, attachment issues, communication problems, dissociation and gender dysphoria. His day-to-day approach draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques to address thoughts, behaviours and immediate goals.

Anthony also brings trauma-focused work into conversations when past events are holding someone back. Sessions aim to create a steady pace, with attention to safety and what the person feels ready to look at. He avoids jargon and explains options in plain terms.

Treatment planning is collaborative. Anthony checks in about what is useful, adapts methods to individual needs and supports people as they practise new ways of coping between meetings. He encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the person make sense of their experience so they can decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree what to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.

For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-in meetings between commitments. They can also allow people to meet from a quieter place, choose whether to use video or audio, or plan sessions around work and family schedules. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use online work to maintain continuity of care and help people stick with changes between sessions.
