Anthony Roots, BACP

Anthony Roots is a UK-based therapist accredited with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings four years of professional experience to his practice. He has worked with people confronting stress and anxiety, those managing addictions, individuals navigating LGBT-related concerns, and survivors of trauma and abuse. Anthony combines practical support with empathetic listening to help people explore their thoughts and emotions and find clearer ways forward.

He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where difficult feelings can be shared and examined. Anthony recognises the courage it takes to seek change and approaches each person with respect and encouragement, helping them identify goals and steps toward a more fulfilling life. His work also pays attention to related areas such as chronic pain and illness, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and issues commonly experienced in midlife and by men.

Anthony works collaboratively with clients to build coping skills, address patterns that cause distress, and support meaningful progress. He offers evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person, matching approach and pace to the client’s needs and preferences.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Anthony Roots uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, helping people learn breathing, grounding, and problem-solving strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. He also employs trauma-informed methods to support recovery from abuse and difficult past experiences, working at a pace the person can manage while addressing symptoms and emotional impact.

For clients facing addictions or persistent patterns of behaviour, Anthony applies structured, evidence-based interventions that aim to identify triggers, build alternative coping strategies, and strengthen motivation for change. Throughout the process he works collaboratively with each client to determine the best therapeutic approach based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Anthony is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with a registered professional.
