About Anthony
Anthony Welsh offers calm, steady support for people navigating stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. He aims to help individuals feel more in control of their mental health. He writes in a direct and approachable way and brings warmth to sessions without judgement.
He works with a broad range of concerns including low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, trauma and long-term illness. He also supports people facing parenting strain, sleeping problems, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Background and approach
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic pain and caregiver stress. Anthony uses practical therapy styles tailored to each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and meaningful action.
Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how he builds trust and listens, and he may introduce narrative or existential perspectives to help people make sense of difficult life themes. He trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London.
He is BACP registered, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Anthony welcomes a creative approach when it suits a person’s needs, bringing simplicity and practical steps into the room. To begin, he encourages people to think about what they want to change and how they would like therapy to fit into their life.

How Anthony works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions around what feels most helpful. That collaboration means the method can change as needs evolve rather than being fixed from the start.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. When organised, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. It also lets people use creative elements in sessions, such as storytelling or values exercises, without needing extra travel. If you are unsure which format would suit you, ask when you arrange your first appointment.
