Hi, my name is Matt, welcome to my page.
I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I have experience working alongside clients, of all ages and backgrounds, to help them deal with life stresses, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues and coping with life changes as well as many other challenges and issues.
Perhaps life is feeling overwhelming and speaking with friends and family just doesn't seem to help. Feeling like it is hard to cope in certain areas of your life can be a challenge to manage on your own, but with the right support, you can thrive, achieving happiness and satisfaction with your own mental well-being. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
