02

How Stuart works

He listens without judgement and adapts conversations to each person's needs. People can expect practical, clear dialogue that focuses on what matters to them right now. His work often draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person's own perspective and pace.

That approach aims to increase self-understanding and help people find their own solutions. He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain. This can be useful for people facing big transitions or questions about purpose.

Stuart has helped people with a wide range of concerns including addiction, eating and body image problems, communication and attachment difficulties, anger, dissociation, and caregiver stress. He also supports those dealing with LGBT matters, family issues, divorce and separation, and compassion fatigue. If someone prefers flexible contact, Stuart offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions once matched.

Online support options

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience in the moment. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and offers support that helps the person discover their own solutions. This approach is well suited to worries about self-esteem, relationships and life direction.

Existential Therapy looks at choice, meaning and responsibility when life feels unclear. It helps people weigh options, clarify values and cope with big changes or questions about purpose. That perspective can be useful for grief, career shifts and times of transition.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. Work is collaborative and adjustments are made as needed to find the best fit.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging suits people who prefer written reflection. These options help fit counselling around work, travel or family commitments.
