Anthony Welsh

Anthony Welsh is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people regain a sense of control over their mental health. He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and listens with empathy. He makes space for honesty and practical steps, while remaining approachable and warm.

He works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and stress. Anger, relationship problems and parenting strains are also areas he supports. He has experience with long-term illness, grief and addictions, and can help people navigate life changes and career worries.

Anthony trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He has five years’ experience as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In sessions he likes to keep things collaborative and straightforward. He draws on approaches that suit each person, often using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas alongside attachment and narrative work. He is happy to bring creative ways of working into conversations when that feels useful.

People can expect clear, practical conversation and careful listening. The focus is on small, manageable steps that fit everyday life. If a supportive, steady approach matters to you, he invites you to explore whether his style might help.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Anthony often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas, which focus on helping people accept difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress and motivation problems. He also works with attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help with relationship struggles and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will check in about your goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working. Together you will try out approaches and agree what feels most useful as therapy progresses.

Please confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, fewer commuting hassles and continuity of care when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can adapt exercises and creative tools for remote sessions so progress can continue even when meeting virtually.
