About Anthony
Anthony Welsh helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood find steadier ground. He speaks plainly and listens closely, offering a calm, non-judgemental presence for anyone wanting to make changes. Anthony is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
In sessions he focuses on what matters most to each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
How Anthony works
He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life. Narrative and existential approaches are used to unpack life stories and explore meaning when people face big changes. Anthony trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London.
He is BACP accredited, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Typical concerns he addresses include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, addiction and trouble sleeping. He also helps people coping with long-term illness, caregiver strain and career uncertainty.
Anthony is willing to bring creativity into sessions when that suits the person he is working with. His style is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to build practical ways to manage symptoms while connecting them to personal values.
People who want a reflective but action-oriented approach often find this helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Anthony draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings and commit to small steps that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where people feel stuck or avoidant. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and feelings, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a shared decision. Anthony will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he will adjust plans as new needs emerge. The work is collaborative and focused on practical ways to move forward.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video suits longer, conversational sessions while phone calls can be easier when low bandwidth is needed. Live chat or messaging can work well for short check-ins, jotting down ideas between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity when travel or work makes in-person meetings difficult.
