About Anthony

Anthony Welsh is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works with adults who want to manage stress, irritation, relationship tension and anger. He also helps with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and life changes. He invites straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than judgment.

He describes a hands-on style that values being understood and heard. Sessions often focus on what is happening now, and on small changes that reduce snapping or simmering resentment. He is willing to use creative ideas in sessions where that helps people express difficult feelings.

Anthony trained 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. That registration is the credential listed for his practice.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept uncomfortable feelings while committing to chosen values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Client-centred methods keep the conversation focused on the person in front of him and what they want to change.

Typical concerns he works with include grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain and career stress. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress and issues around intimacy. For anyone wanting to handle anger more clearly, he offers practical conversation and reflective exercises to try between sessions.

How sessions work

How his approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult emotions without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for anger tied to relationships or work where someone wants clearer next steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. In practice this can help someone see why they respond strongly in close relationships and try different ways of connecting.

He treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. The therapist and client review what helps and adjust methods over time. Clients can expect to try short exercises, reflect on what changes and refine the plan together.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a video session that saves travel time. Choosing the right format can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a quieter setting, and the therapist will discuss those practical choices with each person.
