Profile
Hello, I'm Matt. I’m a fully qualified psychotherapist and counsellor accredited by the UKCP and employed by the NHS with over 10 years ongoing experience working in GP’s practices across South London.
In my experience people seek out a therapist for many different reasons and with regard to many different issues, however what they will all have in common is one simple question: Will seeing this person help me?
And, in answer to that question all I can give you is the benefit of what has been my experience as a therapist over the past years, and say that yes, therapy can indeed help! In fact it can be a powerful and life changing experience.
Whether your issues surround depression, anger management, anxiety, bereavement, relationships or any number of other inter-related issues, therapy can offer hope, can action change.
It ‘s also been my experience that for this to happen you'll need to feel safe, you'll need to feel accepted and you'll need to feel understood, which is why research consistently shows that the relationship you have with your therapist is so important.
In this you really need to go with what feels right for you; to rely on your ’gut-instinct’. If that’s not there, keep looking!
In other words while skills and qualifications are very important there is much more to it than that, which is possibly why research also shows that no one style of therapy truly stands out above any other. It’s the person that counts, or more specifically, how you feel in relation to that person that counts.
Please feel free to give me a call or send me an e-mail without obligation. We can then look to arrange an initial appointment and from there get a sense if it feels right for you, and so will be right for us, to work together.
