Anthony Simpson works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He helps those struggling with grief, low self esteem and life changes. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel less overwhelming.

Anthony believes each person knows their own story. He draws on clients' strengths and looks for small, practical steps to build confidence and motivation. Sessions focus on clear goals and gentle encouragement rather than labels or pressure.

Background and approach

His background includes three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That experience has involved helping people with panic attacks, social anxiety and worries about body image alongside issues such as chronic pain, illness and disability.

Anthony uses a client-centred approach alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, tailoring conversations to what the person brings. He helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of coping in everyday life. People often come to him feeling isolated, stuck in guilt or shame, or unsure how to move through a midlife crisis or relationship fallout.

He supports men’s issues and problems around attachment and abandonment with calm, steady listening and practical suggestions. If someone prefers talking by video, phone or messaging, Anthony offers those options. The practical aim is to make talking about hard things easier, and to help people take manageable steps toward a more satisfying life.

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and building on their strengths. It is a listening-led approach that helps people feel heard and make choices that match their values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of coping, which can reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. This collaborative process helps find a practical way forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
