Anthony Welsh, BACP

Anthony Welsh is a BACP counsellor who helps people regain a sense of control over their mental health. He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to listen with empathy to whatever is worrying you. He commonly sees people struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress and self-esteem concerns. He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy challenges and people coping with grief, trauma or long-term illness.

He uses a creative, person-focused way of working. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client’s needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being driven by them. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Anthony trained at the University of Essex and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanities and Philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London. He has five years of professional experience supporting a wide range of concerns, including addiction, ADHD and carer stress. His BACP credential is shown as BACP.

In practice he combines narrative and existential ideas with client-centred listening. That means he encourages people to tell their story, find meaning and make small, doable changes. He is comfortable bringing creative methods into sessions when that helps people express difficult feelings.

Sessions are offered in English and take place from the United Kingdom. For online session formats, please confirm the current options before booking.

How Anthony’s approaches translate to online work

Anthony uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by linking values to small actions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape today's patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He explores options together with each person and chooses methods that suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client’s aims guide whether to emphasise ACT, attachment ideas or narrative and existential questions.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or switch off video when that helps them focus.
