Anthony Roots , BACP

Anthony Roots is a BACP-credentialed therapist based in the United Kingdom with 4 years of professional experience across NHS and private practice. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, navigating LGBTQ-related concerns, and recovering from trauma and abuse, and he offers support for individuals with ADHD. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and reflects his recognised standing within the field.

He approaches sessions with an emphasis on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Anthony aims to help clients build practical skills for managing symptoms while also attending to deeper issues such as guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, and midlife challenges. He also provides focused support around chronic pain, illness, and disability, as well as topics related to sexuality and self-love.

Anthony frames therapy as a collaborative process that acknowledges the courage it takes to seek change. He is committed to supporting and empowering people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Anthony Root's practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to common difficulties like anxiety, addiction, trauma, and ADHD. He uses cognitive and behavioral strategies to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can reduce anxious patterns and improve daily coping. He also employs trauma-informed methods that focus on safety, pacing, and processing past harm to support recovery from abuse and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. Anthony works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and strengths, and then adjusts techniques to fit each person's needs so therapy feels practical and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing work to continue over video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and enable regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit the client.
