More about Matthew

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am licensed in the UK with 6+ years of professional work experience in both the NHS, Charity Sector and Private Practice. I have experience in helping clients in the LGBTQ+ community but not exclusively and work with Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Depression, Separation, Grief, Motivation, Self-Esteem, Work Stress, Past Trauma, Anger Issues & Family Conflicts. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage. Allowing the therapist to hear and support us in our pain and grief can be profoundly healing. Feeling heard by someone who is truly listening can make us feel valued and alive and bring about lasting change.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
