Dr Marian R. Stuart, Ph.D. Stuart

Psychologist

“As a licensed Psychologist, I help patients constructively deal with stressors and pain. I treat TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome).”

About Me

I help people navigate the challenges of stress and chronic pain. My specialisation in Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) helps me understand how mind-body connections influence well-being. We can explore practical ways to manage daily pressures, fostering calm and resilience. If you feel overwhelmed by persistent discomfort, I offer a supportive space to find lasting relief.

Approach

Turning attention to the link between stress and bodily sensation, I guide people toward small, practical shifts that reduce persistent discomfort and reframe daily pressures. In Skillman or by secure online sessions in English, meetings are paced to your tolerance, mixing focused inquiry with gentle body-awareness exercises and brief between-session experiments you can try in real life. We track what changes and adjust strategies collaboratively, so progress feels tangible. This way of working often suits adults and couples seeking steady, embodied relief and clearer coping.
