Mr Anthony Andrisani

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

“My approach comes from a place of empathy, understanding, and compassion. I believe that building and maintaining a positive therapeutic environment that centres around trust and respect is important to making you feel comfortable in sessions. I understand that this process is difficult, and I am here to offer support.”

About Me

I approach therapy with deep empathy, understanding, and compassion. My aim is to help you navigate the therapeutic process by building a safe, trusting environment. Your comfort is essential, especially when facing difficult emotions. I support you every step of the way, ensuring sessions unfold at your own pace. This creates a space where you can explore challenges with confidence and feel truly heard.

Approach

I focus on creating a steady, respectful space where you set the tempo and I help turn overwhelming feelings into concrete, manageable steps. In my Newmarket office and via online sessions I mix attentive listening with practical tools—gentle grounding, mindfulness practices and short between-session exercises—to keep progress feeling achievable. Sessions move at your rhythm, with collaborative goal-setting and brief skill rehearsal so moments of calm can be repeated outside our time together. This approach often helps people coping with trauma, loss, anxiety or burnout find more ease.
