Anthony Welsh, BACP

Anthony Welsh offers calm, practical support for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low self-esteem. He aims to help clients regain a sense of control over their mental health. His style is straightforward and non-judgemental, and he brings a gentle curiosity to the work.

He has experience with depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related difficulties. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, parenting strains, anger, career shifts and compassion fatigue. Additional areas he pays attention to include ADHD, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and body image worries.

Anthony trained at the University of Essex and holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

In sessions he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred approaches, alongside existential and narrative ideas. He keeps things simple in the room, using conversational work and, when helpful, creative methods to make things feel more manageable.

People can expect a respectful, steady presence and practical steps to try between sessions. His aim is to help clients notice what matters to them and take small actions that rebuild confidence and day-to-day coping.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, committed actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and aims to help people feel more secure and connected in how they relate to others. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person in the room, offering empathetic listening and support so the client can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that conversational, values-based exercises and reflective narrative work adapt well to remote sessions, and creative elements can still be used where appropriate. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often aim to make online appointments practical and focused on everyday change.
