Anthony Welsh helps people find steadier footing when life feels overwhelming. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship worries and problems with self-esteem. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, sleep difficulties and the strain of long-term illness.

Anthony keeps things simple and practical so conversations feel useful from the first session. He works in a warm, curious way and often brings creativity into sessions.

Background and approach

That can mean using everyday stories or expressive ideas to make difficult thoughts easier to talk about. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to shape how he responds in the room. Anthony trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. He has practised for five years and has worked with a broad range of concerns including parenting stress, career changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions aim to help people notice what matters to them, make practical changes, and build better ways of coping.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Anthony speaks English and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom. He offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Anthony draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that feel stuck because it focuses on small, practical steps toward a life that matters.

He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. That approach can help when communication, closeness or trust feel difficult, and it supports people working through abandonment or attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match their goals and preferences. He treats the choices as collaborative so sessions stay relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers brief check-ins during a busy day, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
