About Anthony
Anthony Welsh aims to help people regain a sense of control over their mental health. He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and listens with empathy. People who are anxious, depressed, or struggling with self-esteem often come to him for steady support.
Anthony works with a wide range of life challenges. These include stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, sleeping difficulties and coping with life changes.

His approach is practical and person-centred. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - often called ACT - to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. He also draws on narrative and existential perspectives to help people make sense of their stories and life choices.
Anthony trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He is BACP registered, which indicates adherence to a professional body in the UK. He has five years of clinical experience.

How Anthony’s approaches translate to online therapy
Anthony commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based thinking in his work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking small steps towards what matters to them, which can help with anxiety, depression and values-based decisions. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape patterns today and can clarify why certain responses repeat in adult life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences, and may adapt techniques as sessions progress. This means the plan can change if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.
Practical benefits of online sessions should be checked before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online work fits around day-to-day life, reducing travel and making it easier to schedule sessions during work breaks or between other commitments. If video is not suitable, alternatives can be discussed during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions fit personal routines.
