About Anthony
Anthony Simpson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Anthony focuses on practical, straightforward conversations. He aims to make sessions feel safe and understandable. He encourages small steps that can make a difference day to day.
Background and approach
His sessions often include talking through difficult feelings and trying out new ways of thinking and behaving. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client's lead and build a trusting working relationship. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test alternatives.
Anthony has helped people cope with life changes, loss, panic and social anxiety. He also works with issues such as attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and problems with communication. He listens for the practical obstacles that get in the way and helps people make manageable plans.
People can expect plain language and direct support rather than technical jargon. Anthony describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the direction. He offers a steady presence while clients try out new ways of coping.
To begin, he asks a few simple questions to understand what matters most and then agrees a pace that suits each person. Sessions are aimed at helping people build confidence, reduce overwhelm and find clearer ways forward.

Approaches Anthony lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood by offering clear tools to change daily patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person’s goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. That means methods can be adjusted as work progresses to find the best fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, practical coaching or times when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit work, family and other commitments.
