About Anthony
Anthony Welsh offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low self-esteem. He aims to help clients take back some control over their mental health through steady, non-judgemental listening and clear, realistic steps. Anthony welcomes people who want an empathic space to talk and to try different ways of coping.
He brings five years of counselling experience to sessions. His background includes a counselling qualification from the University of Essex and a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He is BACP registered, which is recorded here as BACP.
Anthony uses a mixture of approaches in session. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred work keeps the conversation focused on the person in front of him.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Anthony often helps people set small goals between meetings and reflect on what changes when those goals are tried. He can bring creativity into the room if that feels useful, for example using writing or metaphor to clarify feelings.
He has worked with a wide range of difficulties including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues and codependency. He also supports people coping with chronic illness, parenting strain, career crossroads and compassion fatigue.
How his approaches fit into online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and codependency issues where unhelpful patterns get in the way of meaningful living. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and reactions, helping to understand why certain triggers feel so intense.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then shape sessions to match. That means choices about techniques and pacing are collaborative rather than fixed up front.
Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or health needs, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when life is busy and for using different media, such as talking, writing or creative exercises, to suit how a person feels on the day.
