About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family difficulties. He works with people struggling with addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions and compassion fatigue. Anthony also offers support around LGBT concerns and issues such as gender dysphoria, body image and isolation.
He uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Anthony believes clients are the experts on their own lives and builds on their strengths.
Background and approach
He explains things clearly and focuses on small, practical steps that can make everyday life easier. Anthony draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural tools and solution-focused strategies. He also uses trauma-informed approaches when needed.
These methods are chosen to fit the person and the problem rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Over eight years he has helped people with attachment and communication problems, dissociation, guilt and shame, infidelity and family difficulties. He also supports people navigating divorce and separation, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at adults in the UK. Anthony is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He aims to make the first steps into therapy as simple and manageable as possible.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them discover their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day coping. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to use more listening-based, practical CBT tools or brief solution-focused steps, and this can change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and contact between calls. These options can help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
