Antony Stuart

Antony Stuart is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years' experience. He works in a warm, collaborative way and focuses on helping people untangle repeated thoughts and behaviours that hold them back. Antony aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can start making changes without feeling overwhelmed.

He sees how anxiety, low self-worth and difficult relationships often grow from earlier experiences. Antony uses that understanding to help people make sense of their reactions and patterns. He listens without judgement and helps clients name what is happening beneath the surface.

His background includes work with adults, young people and families across different therapeutic settings. Antony draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relational patterns and on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client's priorities. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when it helps to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours.

Common concerns he supports include stress, grief, parenting strain, career pressures, addiction-related issues, relationship and intimacy difficulties, anger and coping with life changes. Antony also works with ADHD, trauma and abuse, and body image or codependency problems where these are relevant.

Antony is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches you can explore in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people keep repeating the same relational behaviours or feel insecure in close connections. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and support to help the person find their own way forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours by testing ideas and trying small changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Antony treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision. He listens to goals and preferences, then suggests ways of working that aim to match what the client needs at that time.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also help people stay with therapy while they test changes in everyday life. Confirm the available session options when you book so you know what will suit you best.
