Anthony Welsh, BACP

Anthony Welsh welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. He aims to help people take back a sense of control over their mental health. Anthony offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and will listen closely to what matters to each person.

He works with a wide range of issues including depression, low self-esteem, addiction, grief and relationship struggles. He also supports people facing long-term illness, caregiver strain, parenting pressures and ageing and geriatric issues. Anthony often brings creativity into sessions for people who want a different way to talk about problems.

Anthony trained in counselling at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

In sessions he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods. He focuses on what people want to change and practical steps they can take between meetings.

His style is warm and straightforward. Anthony aims to make therapy easy to follow and fit into everyday life. He encourages people to set realistic goals and to try small experiments that can build confidence over time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on values-based actions to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and managing emotions. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and a respectful space to clarify what matters and make choices.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they match the person’s day-to-day life and aims.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their routine, for example by avoiding travel time or fitting a short appointment into a lunch break. Online meetings can also make it simpler to continue therapy when someone's life or health needs change, and they allow the same therapeutic conversations and practical exercises that happen face to face.
