Stu Thomas, founder of Medi8 Therapy, holds four relevant qualifications in supporting couples, including Counselling, EDI, and Marriage Counselling. While these qualifications inform his professional knowledge, the service provided by Medi8 Therapy is relationship support, not counselling or psychotherapy. Understanding the difference A counsellor is trained to support individuals with emotional or psychological issues, often working with trauma, distress, or mental health conditions. Counselling is typically non-directive and focuses on exploring past experiences and emotional healing, using a therapeutic model. A Relationship Expert or Coach offers coaching that is goal-oriented, and solution focused. The service supports couples and individuals to improve communication, strengthen connection, and create practical strategies for lasting relationship change. This support does not involve mental health diagnosis or treatment
