I believe the answer is:

comfort

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'console' is the definition.
(I know that console can be written as comfort)

'company in favour of sticking mount to' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'favour of sticking mount' becomes 'mt' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' becomes 'for'.
'mt' placed around 'for' is 'mfort'.
'co'+'mfort'='COMFORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comfort that I've seen before include "Solace, ease" , "Consolation" , "Physical ease; consoler" , "Soothe - console" , "Relief; soothe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
