Dr Stewart Thorling DCounsPsych | Counselling Psychologist & Clinical Associate
I'm a Counselling Psychologist with over ten years' experience supporting LGBTQIA+ adults and couples with mental health, relationships, sexuality and wellbeing. I have worked across the NHS, charitable and private sectors, supporting people with diverse and intersecting identities and helping them navigate difficulties in ways that feel meaningful to their lives.
My therapy style is warm, relaxed and collaborative, whilst also cultivating a space for curiosity, connection and growth. Throughout therapy, I offer a thoughtful space to pause, reflect on your experiences and develop a greater understanding of yourself and needs centred on trust, compassion, non-judgement and affirmation. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change and I will work with you, where you’re at, to create an alliance that feels safe and containing.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on ideas and techniques from a range of therapeutic modalities such as Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Systemic Therapy. This allows me to offer a flexible and holistic approach to therapy that is attuned to your unique lived experiences and needs.
My main areas of specialism include working with LGBTQIA+ adults and couples across sexual health and HIV care, psycholosexual therapy, gender affirming care and relationship diversity. I have expertise in supporting trans and non-binary people exploring identity, sex, sexuality, intimacy and relationships as well as changing wellbeing needs throughout different stages of gender transition. I also have a wealth of experience working with anxiety, depression, shame, self-criticism, stress, burnout, drug and alcohol misuse and chemsex. Together we can explore and get a sense of your needs to help you move forwards in helpful and meaningful ways.
I received my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology from London Metropolitan University and I am registered with the HCPC.
