Anthony Horsburgh helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with relationships and family life. He works with concerns including addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue. Anthony uses straightforward language and aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who are anxious about starting therapy.

He believes people know a lot about their own lives and brings that into sessions.

Background and approach

Anthony follows a collaborative style where the client’s priorities guide the work. He listens for strengths and builds on them to tackle the issues that cause the most distress. In practice he draws on client-centred approaches to make sessions feel respectful and non-judgemental.

He also uses cognitive behavioural methods to spot and change unhelpful thinking and solution-focused work to set practical, short-term goals. Anthony has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. That background has given him time working with a wide range of concerns, including attachment issues, body image, communication problems and the effects of domestic violence or separation.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Anthony aims to match pace to each person, helping them find realistic steps and build confidence over time.

How Anthony’s approaches work online

Anthony draws on client-centred therapy to create a non-judgemental space where clients set the focus and pace. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard, to clarify values, or to restore confidence after difficult experiences.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking by teaching practical skills to test and change patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and realistic.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit more in-depth therapy that benefits from face contact, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible timing. These options support access and make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life.
