Stuart Benney
Counselling & Psychotherapy

Welcome
I'm Stuart, a Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Bonnyrigg, near Edinburgh, offering face-to-face, online and walking therapy. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step. You may have been carrying things on your own for a long time, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from yourself, or simply exhausted from trying to cope. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

My aim is to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe enough to be yourself and talk openly about what's on your mind. Clients often tell me they find me easy to talk to and appreciate having somewhere they can feel heard, understood and accepted without judgement.
I work collaboratively, drawing on professional training alongside lived experience of neurodivergence, to support people facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity exploration and life transitions. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you, building understanding, resilience and meaningful change.
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens through connection, self-understanding and feeling genuinely supported. Finding the right therapist matters, and I hope this website gives you a sense of who I am and how I work.
