We are thrilled to have Stuart join our team! Here’s a beautiful little write up from him…
I am a curious, gentle man who has had the pleasure of many years of walking alongside others and in my own joys and trials I have experienced the support of others alongside me.
I believe we are meant to do life in relationship, yet so often relationships come with complications and confusion. Sadly, at times we can end up so hurt and lost we don’t even get along with ourselves let alone others. This is where life can become really grey.
Yet there is always hope! Life can and does change! When we learn how to befriend ourselves and interact with others in healthier ways, life can become so much richer.
With a healthy dose of self compassion we can grab a hold of the courage we need to learn how to flex with the challenges that life brings while at the same time find meaning and joy.
I am a qualified Counsellor with a Masters and Bachelor in Counselling, I am also qualified in Clinical Hypnosis through ASHWA and I am qualified in Internal Family Systems via IFSCA.
My clinical experience includes specialising in addiction, trauma and working with people with various relationship and mental health challenges.
For those of you who speak “psycho babble”, I work primarily from an Internal Family Systems perspective while also tapping into other modalities such as Person Centred Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focussed Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Clinical Hypnosis.
For those of you who are averse to “psycho babble” I believe the most crucial relationship we have is with ourselves. Yet so many of us go through life mostly as strangers to ourselves, knowing that if we did look inside we would have to acknowledge it’s a mess in there!
I am passionate and committed to creating a safe space for people to shift from talking about their “mess” to sitting with it and then having healing encounters with the various parts which come into focus.
With this shift comes a deep experiential healing and the ability to lead our system from our true self with all its wisdom and compassion and courage.
