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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
