Mathew also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and issues around addiction and intimacy. Money and financial issues are listed among his additional areas of focus and may be brought into sessions when relevant.
Mathew aims to make starting therapy less daunting. He works to create a non-judgmental space where someone can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are practical and centred on the person’s immediate concerns and goals.
His way of working draws on a mix of approaches. This helps him tailor conversations to what each person needs, whether that means tackling thoughts and behaviours, exploring past patterns, or setting short-term goals. The emphasis is on clear steps clients can try between sessions.

How his approaches work in online therapy
Mathew blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people break unhelpful patterns and find momentum. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and gives practical exercises to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build commitment when motivation feels low.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mathew will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care and maintain progress between meetings.
