Anthony Horsburgh, BACP

Anthony Horsburgh helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also supports people facing addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting pressures, career questions and compassion fatigue. He is named Anthony Horsburgh and holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Anthony works in a straightforward, respectful way. He begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of him. He treats the client as the expert on their life and builds on their strengths rather than telling them what to do.

His practice draws on Client-Centred ideas that focus on understanding each person's experience. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods are used where they seem helpful and appropriate.

Sessions are practical and aimed at small, usable steps. Anthony helps people try out new ways of coping and notice what changes. He keeps explanations plain and checks in about what is working during the work together.

Anthony has eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He encourages people to take the decision to start therapy as a step towards change and offers straightforward guidance on how to begin the process.

How Anthony’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience. The therapist listens carefully and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with relationship strain, identity questions and feelings of isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and suggests practical experiments to change them; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasise listening and reflection, practical CBT tasks, or short-term solution-focused steps so the plan fits the person's needs.

They can also make it simpler to review written materials and homework together during sessions.
