How Anthony works
Anthony draws on client-centred therapy to create a respectful, listening environment. He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of behaving. Across three years of practice in the United Kingdom he has supported people through grief, coping with life changes, panic and social anxiety.
He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and problems with guilt or shame. Anthony works with clients who are dealing with chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, and those facing midlife concerns and men’s issues. He pays particular attention to social isolation, communication difficulties and building self-love.
Sessions are offered in English and Anthony accepts international clients. He follows a straightforward process to begin working together and supports people in finding approaches that match their goals.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The counsellor gives space for you to tell your story and builds on your strengths to help you move forward.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches simple techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that suit you and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to your situation.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat offer shorter check-ins or a way to fit therapy around a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
