About Stuart
BACP. 5 years' experience. Stuart Williams works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life changes. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues, as well as concerns linked to eating, parenting, anger, career and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Stuart uses client-centred counselling and existential approaches. In client-centred work he focuses on the person's experience, listening closely and reflecting what is said so the client can make sense of their feelings. Existential counselling looks at meaning, choices and responsibility, and can help when people are wrestling with purpose, loss or big life shifts.
In practice he talks things through in straightforward language. He helps people identify unhelpful patterns and work out small, practical changes they can try between sessions. Conversations cover behaviour, feelings and the wider life context rather than only symptoms.
Stuart also pays attention to relational and attachment issues such as abandonment, codependency and communication problems. He is familiar with personality-related concerns and dissociation, and with substance use and addiction challenges.
