Stuart McGoo

I’m Stuart McGoo (most people call me Stu), an Integrative Counsellor offering thoughtful, grounded counselling for adults who want a space to be heard, understood, and taken seriously. I am an Integrative Counsellor, working primarily from Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches to understanding ourselves, and employing Low-Intensity CBT for people dealing with anxiety when appropriate. In practice, this means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model of therapy.

In my work with men, I often meet people who are worn down rather than broken. Men who have carried responsibility for a long time — for work, family, health, or simply staying functional — and who are exhausted by the effort of managing everything quietly. Therapy with me is calm, respectful, and grounded. There’s no pressure to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or be anyone other than who you are. We work at a pace that feels manageable, focusing on understanding what’s happening for you and how you want to move forward.

Get in touch by phone or through my website where you can book a initial free consultation to discuss your needs. There’s no pressure, and it’s opportunity to ask any questions you have of me.
