Anthony Roots, BACP

Anthony Roots works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. He invites clients to talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgement. He makes space for honesty and aims to be steady and practical during hard conversations.

He trained and practised in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. He has four years of professional experience between NHS roles and independent practice. That background means he has worked in different settings and seen a wide range of common concerns.

In sessions he focuses on building a straightforward, open relationship. He listens to what matters most and helps people set clear, achievable goals. He aims for practical steps you can try between meetings, and checks in about what is or is not helping.

Anthony pays attention to how past events affect present life. He also helps people manage overwhelming feelings and the habits that get in the way of everyday functioning. Conversations may include coping strategies, planning for change, and looking at patterns that keep problems repeating.

He encourages clients to take the pace that suits them and to use therapy as a place to practise new ways of thinking and acting. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits your life.

Approaches to help you online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical changes you can try between sessions and on understanding how past events affect current feelings. One common approach helps people learn coping strategies for anxiety and panic, using step-by-step exercises to reduce avoidance and manage symptoms. Another approach looks at patterns that maintain problems and uses guided conversations to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with low mood, addiction urges, and relationship worries.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and work with you to choose what fits your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can adjust the plan as therapy progresses to find what feels most helpful.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care and to offer more flexible appointment times.
