Stuart Jones
About me
Hi, I am Stuart and I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and EMDR therapist I work in an integrative manner counselling people with all sorts of problems and issues including depression and anxiety. Together we can use the counselling relationship to help you to cope with various life events such as bereavement, divorce and loss which are particularly difficult in a post COVID world. I am also trained to use EMDR treatment for people suffering from PTSD (Trauma). I can offer time-limited or open-ended counselling sessions at hopefully an affordable rate.
I offer a free initial assessment session and the reason for this is to make sure we both feel comfortable and are able to work together to ensure YOU get the help that YOU want.
Sessions last up to 60 minutes and I work via the telephone or online
Please email me or telephone for more details. Sometimes it's nice to be able to talk things through with someone in a confidential space away from the stresses of the outside world.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
