About Me

My name is Stuart Estrella-Pinto. Welcome to my website. I am a fully trained Therapeutic Counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, where I hold Senior Accredited status and a graduate membership of the British Psychological Society. I have extensive experience in providing counselling on a wide range of issues. Aside from my private practice work, I have worked over the years as a counsellor for the NHS, employee assistance programmes, several universities, hospices and charities.

In addition to my counselling training and experience, I hold a Masters degree in Psychology. I am currently exploring new modes of therapy as a Doctoral Researcher in psychology at a local university, where I also teach.

Prior to my career in counselling, I trained as an Environmental Scientist and worked in that profession for almost 15 years. My decision to re-train in psychotherapy came about from a desire to be more impactful at a personal level and growing interest in how people benefit from nature, and I now combine both professions through my research and counselling practice.
