Anthony Roots, BACP

Anthony Roots is a United Kingdom based therapist with four years of professional experience working across NHS and private practice settings. He holds BACP credentialing - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates formal recognition within the UK counselling profession. Anthony focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, navigate LGBT related concerns, and process trauma and abuse, while also supporting clients with ADHD and related challenges.

He creates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored at a pace that feels safe for each person. Anthony works collaboratively with clients to identify practical steps and coping strategies, and he encourages people to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. He aims to support and empower individuals as they work through difficult experiences and pursue meaningful change.

Anthony also gives attention to areas such as chronic pain, illness and disability, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues and midlife concerns, mood and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexuality, and social anxiety. His approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s needs and goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Anthony uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal understanding. One approach emphasises talking through current difficulties to identify patterns and develop coping strategies - this helps with stress, anxiety, panic, and mood-related concerns. Another approach focuses on skill-building exercises that teach emotion regulation, relapse prevention for addictions, and practical strategies for managing ADHD and daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Anthony treats that as a collaborative task. He works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and needs, and adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Online therapy with Anthony is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, fit therapy around work or caregiving commitments, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change, while still allowing regular, ongoing therapeutic work with a registered professional.
