Addiction treatment

Private, outpatient, and built around the root cause

Everything under this heading shares one premise: a dependency is doing a job for you, and it will keep doing it until something else can. That is why the work here targets the driver underneath rather than the substance or behaviour on the surface.

Stuart is an International Neuroscience Addiction Specialist working from 1 Harley Street. The approach is non-12-step and outpatient — no residential stay, no group, no requirement to step away from your career — and draws on hypnotherapy, NLP, EMDR and PSY-Tap according to what your assessment shows.

Every route below begins the same way: a free 30-minute call in which Stuart tells you honestly whether he can help, and says so plainly if what you need first is medical rather than therapeutic.

4.9 out of 5 from 209 ratings — Stuart Downing Client Reviews, verified by Trusted Practitioner

I was having weekly sessions with Stuart for 5 months. I have suffered with a substance addiction for many years and was in a pretty low place when I found Stuart. My using was getting out of hand and I knew I needed professional help. The weekly sessions have helped me tremendously — I now feel like I have a toolkit for when things get tough. Stuart has taught me a new way of thinking and dealing with life. I found the sessions to be very insightful. Stuart is very relatable and very easy to talk to. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again for all your support.

I cannot thank Stuart enough for the incredible support and guidance he has given me over the past couple of years. Stuart has a remarkable ability to ask the right questions, offer insightful perspectives and gently challenge me when needed — all while creating a space of trust and comfort. His professionalism and unwavering support has helped me navigate some of my most difficult moments and I've grown so much because of our work together. After trying many therapists, Stuart has been the one who genuinely cares the most and listens without judgement. I highly recommend Stuart as I am so grateful to have him.

— Emilia

I decided I needed to seek help after I accepted that I had a problem with gambling. I went through all the usual measures like banning myself online but I always managed to find a way or a reason to gamble. I had heard of hypnotherapy and thought this might be the best approach. The money I invested has saved me thousands. I have learnt that it is never too late to make a positive change and couldn't be happier with my life. I could not recommend and thank Stuart enough — he has genuinely transformed my life!

— Harry

It's taken me a while to be able to summarise how much Stuart has helped me! I have suffered with Bulimia for the last 16 years — over half of my life. During this time I've had various different counselling and therapy; you name it and I've probably tried it. Stuart is the first healthcare professional I've had that truly understood my struggles. His practical approach was revolutionary to me. I've made more progress in the last 6 months than I've done in 16 years. He's helped me unpick beliefs I've carried my whole life. There was never any pressure. It sounds cheesy but with his support I've managed to change my life! I'd urge anyone thinking about it to reach out to Stuart. He's the very best and I can't thank him enough!
