Hello, I’m Stuart.
Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure why things feel the way they do, even when life on the outside looks “fine”.
I offer a space that is grounded, warm and real (sometimes with a little humour) where you can begin to make sense of what’s going on for you, at your own pace.
My approach is integrative and pluralistic, so I adapt how we work to suit you. At times we might explore how the past is shaping the present; at others we’ll focus on practical ways through what you’re facing day to day.
After working through my own challenges, I developed a deep respect for how difficult it can be to face what’s going on internally, and how powerful it can be to feel truly understood.
WHERE WE MEET
A quiet room in a private garden.
Sessions take place in a dedicated garden room, tucked away at the end of a peaceful garden in Lancaster. You arrive along a gravel path, trees, grasses and water features, and step into a warm, light-filled room that looks straight out onto the planting.
What people bring to therapy.
People come with all sorts of things, often more than one at once. These are some of the most common.
Anxiety & worry
A mind that won’t settle, or a body that stays on edge.
Low mood & depression
Feeling flat, heavy, or far away from yourself.
Grief & loss
Losing a person, a relationship, or the life you expected.
Trauma
Past experiences that still shape how the present feels.
Experiences of abuse
Physical, emotional or sexual abuse, explored at your pace, in your words.
Relationship difficulties
Patterns with partners, friends or colleagues that keep repeating.
Family estrangement
Distance from family, chosen or not, and everything it stirs up.
Feeling stuck or lost
When life looks fine from the outside but doesn’t feel it.
OCD & intrusive thoughts
Doubts, urges and loops that don’t feel like you.
And you don’t need a label for how you’re feeling.
“Winter always
turns to spring.”
