About Anthony
Counsellor and BACP member Anthony Welsh has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. He helps with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship and family concerns. He also supports people facing trauma, addiction, grief, parenting strain and sleep difficulty.
Anthony aims to help people take back a sense of control over their mental health. He describes his manner as genuine and non-judgemental. He can bring creative methods into sessions when that would be helpful to the person he is meeting.
He trained in counselling at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. His BACP membership is listed as BACP, which indicates professional registration with that body.
In sessions he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. He also uses narrative and existential perspectives to help people look at patterns, values and personal meaning.
Work with him typically involves talking through current problems, noticing unhelpful patterns and trying small changes outside sessions. Sessions can include creative or practical exercises when useful. He asks people to select the online counselling options button, complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.
How his approaches are used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small behaviour changes. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions that match what matters to them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand repeated difficulties in relationships and improve how they relate to others.
Client-centred practice puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person brings, which suits people who need space to work things out in their own words.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anthony will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as problems and priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy week by avoiding travel and making it easier to attend from a comfortable location. Lighter options such as shorter check-ins or audio-only calls can suit days with less time or lower bandwidth, while fuller sessions work when someone can focus for longer.
