About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship strain. He draws on eight years of practice to support people coping with depression, addictions, grief, sleeping problems and parenting concerns. He also works with issues linked to identity and LGBTQ concerns, and with those facing career strain or compassion fatigue.
He believes the client is the expert in their own life and uses that view to shape sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters now and on small changes that can make a difference. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming. In sessions he blends Client-Centred Therapy with more structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.
That mix allows for listening and empathy alongside practical tools for handling thoughts and behaviours. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurts need careful, focused attention. Anthony holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Over eight years he has supported people with family problems, attachment concerns, dissociation and substance issues among other areas. He keeps work straightforward and grounded in day-to-day life. People who choose him can expect calm, focused sessions that aim to build coping skills.
He offers conversations that are paced to the person’s needs and practical steps to try between meetings. If someone wants a guide who listens and offers clear techniques, he provides that combination.
Practical approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and space for people to tell their story, helping them make sense of difficult feelings and decide their own next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options with the client and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as different issues emerge.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low; live chat or messaging can fit a short check-in or a busy schedule. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and help people access support from where they are.
