Antony Stuart, BACP

Antony Stuart is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years' experience. He works in a warm, collaborative way to help people who feel stuck in repeating thoughts, habits and emotional patterns. Antony focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that keep anxiety, low confidence or difficult relationships going. He aims to create space to talk openly and begin practical work toward change.

Antony believes many problems start in the ways we learned to think about ourselves and relate to others. He uses approaches that look at attachment and the present moment to help people understand those patterns. Sessions are calm and conversational, with attention to how thoughts and habits play out day to day.

People come to Antony for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addiction and anger. He also works with people facing life changes, ADHD-related concerns, body image problems and the aftermath of abuse or trauma. Antony aims to help clients build emotional resilience and better self-understanding.

In sessions he listens without judgement and helps people notice the small thinking and behaviour habits that reinforce distress. He then supports practical steps they can try between meetings. The aim is not just to manage symptoms but to change how people relate to themselves and others over time.

Antony is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He offers work in English and accepts international clients. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Antony draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses, helping people understand patterns in close relationships and intimacy. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own pace and direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits and to try practical steps that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Antony will discuss options and try methods collaboratively, matching techniques to the person's goals and the problems they bring. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so a session can sit between work tasks. It can also allow work to continue for international clients and those who find in-person meetings difficult to arrange.
