  • Stuart Says...

    I offer a relational approach to therapy. Human beings are relational creatures who need contact with others to survive. Most if not all of our difficulties originate from problems we have, or have had, relating with others. I have experienced this approach working successfully from both therapy chairs. Through these experiences I truly believe in the healing power of forging a therapeutic relationship built on three things: your safety, my acceptance, and mutual trust. These building blocks can take time, but once in place are often enough just in themselves for a client to notice real and lasting change. Once we reach this place, it can also provide a secure base for those wishing to delve deeper, to explore their own processes, to empower themselves to make decisions and changes to their lives they have longed for. It all starts with the non-judgmental acceptance provided by a sound therapeutic relationship. My style of psychotherapy is an integrated mix of three Humanistic orientations; Person-Centred, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt. I blend technique and theory from these three modalities to provide a unique experience, and as I am not constrained by one particular style I can access a broader palette of skills.
