About Stuart
Stuart McNaughton helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, addictions, grief and life changes. He also supports those dealing with self-esteem, parenting pressures, career uncertainty, anger, sleeping issues and compassion fatigue. Stuart welcomes people concerned about attachment, abandonment, infidelity, body image, isolation, or feelings of emptiness.
Sessions focus on exploring what feels missing in life and making small, practical changes. Stuart listens without judgment and asks direct questions to bring unspoken issues into view.
Background and approach
He aims to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. His background includes a diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists and holds NCPS accreditation.
Stuart has four years of practice experience working with a variety of common life and mental health concerns. Stuart integrates Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols with attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening. That means sessions may look at personal values and inner imagery alongside real-life relationship patterns.
Conversations move between present difficulties and the bigger life questions that shape them. People can expect a collaborative, reflective process. Stuart will invite practical experiments to try between sessions and check in on what helps.
The aim is clearer self-understanding and steadier ways of coping in everyday life.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams and meaning to help people understand deeper themes in their life. It can be useful for those seeking greater self-understanding, creativity or clarity about personal values.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. It helps with trust, abandonment worries, commitment issues and repeating relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stuart will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose which ideas to use. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses based on what feels most helpful.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video offers face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits people who prefer typing or want flexible micro-sessions between calls. These options increase flexibility and let people try different ways of talking until they find what fits best.
