About Anthony
In sessions he listens carefully and follows the person's lead. Conversations are practical and grounded, often looking at what feels most urgent and what small steps could help. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a warm, accepting space where clients can speak openly.
Anthony also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. With CBT he helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and trial different behaviours to reduce distress and improve coping.
He has worked with a range of concerns including attachment worries, abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, men's issues, panic attacks, self-love and social anxiety. That experience shapes a flexible approach for each person.
Sessions are carried out in English and international clients can be supported. Costs vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Anthony applies therapeutic approaches online

It can be useful for grief, low self-esteem and when someone needs a compassionate space to talk.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. He will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as progress is made. The aim is practical change that feels manageable.
