About Stuart
Stuart McNaughton helps people facing money and financial issues alongside a wide range of personal concerns. He supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, addictions, grief, and self-esteem problems. He also works with people coping with life changes, career worries, compassion fatigue and sleep problems.
Stuart uses straightforward conversation to notice what might be missing in someone’s life. He asks gentle questions and challenges unspoken assumptions. The aim is to help people find clearer direction and more authentic ways of living.
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 holds NCPS. Stuart has four years of clinical experience and keeps up professional learning through continuing professional development.
In sessions he draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening, CBT techniques and occasional existential and Jungian ideas. That mix is used to suit what each person brings, not as a fixed formula.
People can expect a calm, curious space to talk through difficult feelings and practical challenges. Stuart encourages small steps and realistic goals so progress can be noticed between meetings.

How Stuart’s approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early patterns influence current connections; it helps when trust, abandonment or attachment issues are a concern. Client-centred therapy centres on listening and empathy, giving people space to be heard and to make their own sense of things. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at practical links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Stuart works collaboratively with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means plans are adapted over time rather than locked in at the first session.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible for international clients to work with therapists based in the United Kingdom. Confirm the exact session types offered and scheduling details during the matching process so you can choose what suits your routine.
