Background and approach

With five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Stuart brings a grounded, person-centred approach to his work. He balances listening with gentle challenge to help people see new options and make different choices.

He is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns from grief and trauma to career stress, parenting strain, or struggles with eating and intimacy. He also supports people dealing with identity and relationship roles, including LGBT issues and family problems. Stuart offers practical strategies alongside space to reflect.

He will help you set realistic goals and review progress as you go. If you want straightforward support for anxiety, coping with life changes, or related concerns, he aims to be a steady, empathetic presence on that journey.

How Stuart’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following your pace. It helps when you need space to understand feelings, build confidence, and decide what matters most to you.

Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning, and personal responsibility. It can be useful for people facing big changes, questions about purpose, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stuart works collaboratively to decide which way of working best matches your goals and preferences. He will check in regularly and adjust the style of sessions as needed so you feel the work is useful.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free talking, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel, or caring responsibilities while keeping continuity of contact with a registered professional.
