About Anthony
Anthony Horsburgh helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, addiction issues, grief and sleep problems. Anthony is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) counsellor with eight years of professional experience.
He works on the idea that each person understands their own life best. Sessions focus on strengths the client already has and on practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Anthony aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful of the difficulty in seeking help. His practical style blends client-centred listening with clearer, goal-focused techniques. That means time to talk and be heard, alongside tools to tackle anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns.
He also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. Anthony pays attention to how attachment, communication and control issues show up in everyday life. He offers ways to approach family problems, parenting stress and relationship wounds without using jargon.
He can work with concerns such as body image, dissociation, gender dysphoria and substance misuse in straightforward terms. Sessions are shaped around the person who comes to therapy. Anthony encourages practical experiments between meetings, short-term goals and regular check-ins about progress.
He aims to help people get clearer about what they want and how to take next steps. To begin, a simple sign-up and matching process is used, then sessions are scheduled based on availability. Anthony conducts work in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

How Anthony works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as new issues arise or progress is made.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support working on practical skill-building and between-session tasks in everyday life.
