I am an Integrative Therapist with a grounding in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transaction Analysis, Psychodynamic Theory and Person Centred Therapy. I like to start sessions using a Person Centred approach where we, together, will look to understand what troubles you; the help that you seek and set realistic goals to achieve that. I retrained as a Therapist after many years in corporate life and I like to think that my mid stage of life and varied career background helps me genuinely empathise with the wide range of difficulties that modern life can bring us all.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationships, life transitions or loss, working together we can come to understand what has led to your troubles, the way you’re feeling about them and work to develop your sense-of-sense, build your self-esteem and develop more appropriate ways of coping.

Hi, I’m Stuart – a UKCP-accredited Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapist. I offer a safe, steady, and compassionate space for you to explore what hurts, what’s held you back, and what you long for. Are you always putting others first? Does it feel like no one hears you, sees you, or perhaps has ever truly cared for you? Are you low, anxious, angry... or have that feeling something about life just isn't right? Maybe you’ve been endlessly scrolling, hoping to find someone who feels right. Someone real. You might not even be sure what you need yet, just that something has to change.

Entering therapy can feel like a like an emotionally challenging and daunting step. Perhaps, at first full of unknowns and uncertainties. If you choose to work with me I offer a compassionate and reassuring approach. In this approach, where required I offer information to help you further understand your current difficulties. From that together we can explore a way forward. Strong feelings, unwanted behaviours, infringing thoughts and firmly held unhelpful belief systems can hinder our satisfaction, contentment and plans. EMDR is a proven approach that can alleviate such symptoms.

You deserve an affordable space to talk while feeling accepted and understood without fear of judgement, and that's exactly what you'll get with me. I practice a form of therapy called 'integrative therapy', which means I take approaches from different types of therapies and use whichever ones benefit you most. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy - you're an individual with your own unique experiences, so you deserve an approach to therapy that treats you like an individual. You'll always be the one who gets to decide which approaches you'd like to try and what you get to talk about.

Male Counsellors

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
