About me
Hi, I’m Stuart.
I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what is happening in your life and explore the things you would like to change.
I work in an integrative way, drawing on different counselling approaches so that our work can be tailored to you as an individual and what feels most helpful for you.
I am a registered member of the BACP (MBACP) and work with individuals and couples on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, stress, loss and difficult life experiences.
If you are considering working with me, our first session gives us an opportunity to talk about what brings you to counselling, what you would like support with and whether working together feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as a counsellor in 2015 and have worked in a variety of counselling settings. Before establishing my private practice, I worked as a counsellor with DAPL and The Cottage Family Centre.
I now work with individuals and couples in private practice, offering face-to-face counselling from Lochgelly, Fife, as well as online counselling throughout the UK.
I work in an integrative way, which means our sessions can be shaped around you as an individual rather than following one fixed approach. I aim to provide a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore what is happening in your life, develop greater understanding and work towards meaningful change.
Our first session gives us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you would like support with and what you hope might change.
Alongside my counselling practice, I am also trained in a range of complementary therapies, which reflects my broader interest in emotional and physical wellbeing.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.

Further information
I offer face-to-face counselling from my private practice in Lochgelly, Fife, as well as online counselling throughout the UK.
I work in an integrative way, which means our sessions can be shaped around you as an individual rather than following one fixed approach. Our first session gives us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you would like support with and what you hope might change.
I aim to provide a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore things at your own pace.
Alongside counselling, I also offer complementary therapies through Mello Health, including EFT, Shiatsu, Reiki and Emotion Code. These are separate services and there is no expectation that counselling clients use them.
