Alcohol addiction treatment
When drinking stopped being a choice you were making
Alcohol is the one that hides in plain sight. It is at every dinner, every deal, every wind-down, which makes it unusually easy to lose track of where the line was. Most people who contact Stuart are not falling apart in public. They are functioning, and privately alarmed at how much of the day is now shaped around a drink.
Alcohol addiction treatment here works on why the drinking is doing a job for you, not just on stopping it. Stuart uses neuroscience-based techniques alongside NLP, EMDR and PSY-Tap to change the response at the level it was learned. That matters because willpower tends to hold right up until the week gets difficult.
Whether you want to stop completely or bring it back under control, the work starts from where you actually are. Sessions are private, one-to-one, at 1 Harley Street or online.

How it works
How alcohol addiction treatment works
Free Consultation Call
We start with a free 30-minute phone call to understand what is driving your drinking and confirm whether this approach is the right fit for you. Be as honest as you can — nothing shocks him.
Your Session
Once we have confirmed it is the right fit, you book your first session at a time that works for you — at 1 Harley Street or online. Sessions are entirely one-to-one. Stuart works through the alcohol addiction treatment process with you, addressing the patterns behind the drinking.
Start Your First Clear-Headed Weeks
Across your sessions the automatic reach for a drink tends to fade, and the situations that always meant drinking stop carrying the same weight. Many clients mention sleep and mornings changing first. Ongoing support and aftercare are included.

Client stories
What clients say
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.
— Paul
I have had several sessions with Stuart and found him to be extremely skilled in supporting me to move forward after several traumatic experiences that have impacted my day-to-day life. I had not experienced hypnosis before, but it had a dual effect of helping me relax and rewiring years of unhelpful emotional responses that led me to choose dysfunctional coping strategies, mainly alcohol. The sessions with Stuart have been the most impactful, following years of trying different counsellors and psychotherapists. I would highly recommend him and personally will continue to work with him when I need support.
— Louise
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!
— Amy
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.

Life after
Life when the evening does not start with a drink
Clients rarely describe this as deprivation. They describe getting their mornings back, and being surprised at how much mental space the drinking had quietly been using.
- Waking up clear, with the whole morning actually available
- Getting through a work dinner without counting what everyone else is having
- No more piecing together what you said last night
- Your face and your sleep both looking better within weeks
- Being the one who drives home
- Not having to hide the recycling
Questions
Common questions about alcohol addiction treatment
Do I have to stop completely, or can I aim to cut down?
Both are legitimate goals and Stuart will talk through which is realistic for you. Alcohol addiction treatment here is built around your target rather than an imposed one, though he will be straight with you if he thinks moderation is unlikely to hold in your case.
Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?
Not always, and this matters. Heavy, sustained drinking can make unassisted withdrawal genuinely dangerous. Stuart will ask about your intake on the free call and will tell you to speak to your GP first if that is what your situation needs, before any alcohol addiction treatment begins.
I have done a dry month before and gone back. Why would this differ?
A dry month tests willpower; it does not change what the drinking was answering. Alcohol addiction treatment here works on that underlying driver using EMDR, NLP and hypnotherapy, which is why it suits people who have already proved they can stop and then found themselves back.
How many sessions does it usually take?
It depends on how long the drinking has been established and what sits underneath it, so Stuart gives you a realistic range on the free call. Alcohol addiction treatment runs as a programme across several sessions, with aftercare included once it ends.
Is it worth the money?
Work out what you spend on drink in a year and the comparison usually makes itself. The fee covers the entire engagement — the free consultation, the alcohol addiction treatment programme, and the continued support afterwards — rather than any single appointment.
