About me
** Video counselling sessions now available **
Thanks for looking at my profile. My name is Stuart, and I am an ‘Integrative’ psychotherapist – which means that I use different approaches to help my clients. I am also trained in online and telephone counselling.
Everything is confidential, and you will not be judged. Whatever your circumstances, you will have a safe space to talk to someone who will really listen.
I have a degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and am a member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I fully subscribe and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. I have also completed the Bereavement Counselling Service training (complex grief) and continue to volunteer for them.
I have many hundreds of client hours experience, and still love what I do.
Sometimes it can be difficult to get to see a counsellor - especially at the present time - so I offer video counselling, using Zoom which fully encrypts the video to ensure total privacy. Importantly, I am fully trained and experienced in providing this service.
I offer a free initial consultation so that you have the time and space to decide if I am the right person to help you. It is your decision.
If you feel that I might be the right person - please get in touch. I am here to help.
I look forward to hearing from you, where your enquiry will be treated in strict confidence. Thank you.

Member organisations

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.
Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
