About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting pressures. He also helps with depression, addictions, grief, sleeping difficulties and career or coaching questions. Anthony brings eight years of professional experience and works from the view that each person knows their life best.
He believes clients have strengths to draw on and that therapy is a collaborative effort.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical. Anthony listens first, then helps identify small changes that can make daily life easier. His approach combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques.
That means conversations focus on a person's goals while also looking at thoughts and habits that keep problems going. For trauma-related concerns he brings Trauma-Focused Therapy elements into the work. Anthony aims to make sessions straightforward and down-to-earth.
He will work with a client to set simple, realistic steps and check progress together. Sessions can cover skills for managing anxiety, repairing communication problems, or planning next steps after a difficult event. People meet Anthony for a mix of short-term practical work and longer conversations when needed.
He offers a calm, respectful presence and uses approaches that suit each person's situation. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online across a range of formats.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Anthony combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused methods to address everyday problems. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation is guided by the person's concerns and priorities, helping them feel heard and understood. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleeping issues. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and past successes to build momentum and solve specific problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss options in early sessions and decide together what fits best with the client's goals and preferences. He adapts the mix of approaches as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and goal-focused.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video calls work well for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions suit when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats help people fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps.
