About Stuart McNaughton

Stuart McNaughton affirms that it is okay not to feel okay and encourages people to pause and take stock of their lives rather than dismiss that impulse as indulgent. He frames self-exploration as a practical pathway toward discovering what matters most and toward becoming more authentically oneself, a shift he has seen lead to greater wellbeing for many he has worked with.

In sessions Stuart listens for what is absent, notices what is left unsaid, and gently challenges patterns that may be holding a person back. He works collaboratively to clarify goals and to support movement toward the changes a client wants to make. For those who feel hesitant about reaching out, he invites a simple question - what is stopping me - as a starting point for honest reflection.

Stuart trained first with a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and then completed a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists - BACP - and is working towards accreditation with the BACP. He also holds an NCPS credential. Stuart maintains ongoing continuing professional development to keep his practice responsive and to support clients across a wide range of life contexts.
