Hello, I’m Stuart. I have a master’s degree in counselling and psychotherapy. I am trained and work in a multimodality way (person centred therapy, attachment and CBT). I specialise in:
Gender Sex and Relationship Diversity (including non-monogamy)
Neurodiversity
Trauma Informed Therapy
Are there societal norms that don’t work for you. Do you want to explore your own assumptions about gender, sex and relationship diversities (GSRD)? I work with relationship dynamics like ethical non-monogamy polyamory and monogamy, LGBTQ+ identities and intimacy challenges.
I also work with clients navigating life as neurodivergent, working through the challenges and seeing the potential.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist with experience supporting clients through recent and childhood trauma and can do trauma work through the lens of Gender Sex and Relationship diversity and/or neurodiversity.
I offer a respectful, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs—you're the expert on your life, and I’m here to walk alongside you. Reaching out for support is a brave first step, and I’m here to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
