About me

Hello, my name is Doug Stow and I’m an experienced Psychotherapist, Couple & Relationship Psychotherapist, Psychosexual & Sex Addiction Psychotherapist with over 28 years experience - mainly within NHS but also in private practice.

Accreditation /Registration:

  • Accredited Psychosexual Therapist with The Collage of Sexual and Relationship Therapist (COSRT)
  • Registered with The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)
  • Member of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC).


My model of psychotherapy approach is integrative. It means that I will use different approaches from different therapeutic models to suit your needs best. Focusing on current difficulties whilst tracing the root causes, which may be found in earlier life experiences.

My core belief is simple, no matter what the issue being discussed, most important is the relationship between therapist and client. It is that strong relationship that will see us make progress together.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
