About Stuart
Counsellor (BACP, NCPS) with four years' experience. Stuart McNaughton helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting difficulties, addiction, grief, and questions about identity. He works with LGBT concerns, attachment and intimacy issues, and stresses like work pressure and compassion fatigue.
Stuart uses practical talking therapy alongside cognitive tools. He draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters to each person. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Sessions tend to focus on clearer thinking and everyday steps. Stuart will often notice what is left unsaid and gently challenge patterns that keep someone stuck. He helps people spot habits that feed anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship problems and then tries out different ways of responding.
His background includes a diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and registered with NCPS. He is working towards BACP accreditation and continues to do regular CPD.
Stuart works in the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English. He accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered so arrangements match practical needs.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they do
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. It helps with intimacy problems, abandonment issues and patterns that recur in adult relationships.Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person says is most important. This approach supports people who want a space to talk things through and make sense of their feelings.
Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. They involve trying small changes and practical exercises to shift how someone thinks and acts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stuart will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may combine different methods as needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - they reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, and can suit someone who prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to support people across locations, and the therapist will help arrange practical timing and pacing to suit everyday routines.
