About Mathew
He aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting. Sessions are framed as a chance to speak honestly about what is worrying you. Mathew creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement.
His practice draws on practical, goal-focused methods alongside a deeper look at how past patterns affect current life. That combination can help with immediate coping as well as longer-term change. He is used to helping people who want both short-term strategies and a clearer sense of direction.
Mathew works with issues that often overlap, such as sleep problems tied to anxiety, relationship strain connected to low self-worth, and the emotional side of disordered eating. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, sexual assault and obsessive patterns.
People who choose to start will complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to timings that suit them. Mathew welcomes conversations in English and can see clients from outside the UK.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Mathew uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and eating-related difficulties because it breaks issues into manageable steps.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation. This approach can be helpful for addictions, ambivalence around eating habits, and making sustained life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mathew will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that match those aims. That means you and the therapist decide together whether to focus on skills, motivation or exploring past patterns.
The online setting can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to see what will work best for your schedule.
