Background and approach

He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Anthony combines talk-based methods with body-aware work to address how stress and pain show up in the body. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to help people connect values with action and repair relational patterns.

Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used where practical skills are needed. He meets clients online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging and offers messaging between sessions when helpful. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) he takes monthly supervision and keeps up continuous professional development.

Work with Anthony is presented as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist set aims and try methods to bring about meaningful change. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the service flow.

How Anthony blends approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It helps with anxiety, depression and life changes by focusing on practical steps rather than trying to eliminate discomfort. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they connect with others. This approach can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy concerns and attachment issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together with the client. This collaborative process helps tailor the mix of somatic awareness, ACT and attachment ideas to each person’s goals and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Sessions can be by video call or phone when people prefer real-time conversations, or by live chat and text messaging when brief check-ins and written reflection are more helpful. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on real progress.
