About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who has eight years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family problems, trauma and abuse, and addiction issues. Anthony also supports clients dealing with grief, sleep disruption, parenting strain, career questions and challenges related to LGBT experiences.
He holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP. Anthony uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions.
Background and approach
He treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them build on existing strengths. Conversations are practical and rooted in things a client can try between meetings. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
In sessions Anthony blends a few approaches depending on need. He draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and trauma-informed methods when past harm is a central concern. He also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and notice practical changes.
Over eight years he has supported people with a wide range of difficulties including attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and dissociation. He also works with issues such as domestic violence, substance misuse, infidelity, gender dysphoria and isolation. If someone is unsure about therapy, Anthony encourages a simple first step and recognises that reaching out can take courage.
He aims to meet people where they are and help them find clearer ways forward.

How Anthony uses talking therapies online
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The counsellor reflects back what he hears and helps people notice their own strengths and choices. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring personal values and identity. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and some patterns in relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss options and collaborate with the client to pick methods that suit their goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so early sessions are about finding what fits. For practicalities, please confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep momentum between meetings by using notes and exercises suggested during sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that remote work helps people stay consistent with their plans and apply changes to everyday life.Questions people ask about Anthony
