About me
Hi, I'm Matt,
If you’ve often felt like you experience the world differently—more sensitively, more intensely, or in ways that are hard to put into words—you’re not alone. When the world feels too much, and your way of being hasn’t been understood, it can be deeply isolating. You might feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how much longer you can keep going like this.
Perhaps you’ve spent a long time trying to make sense of how you feel, wondering why certain parts of life feel harder than they seem to for others. Or maybe you’ve been moving through things quietly, without many spaces where your experience feels recognised.
Therapy can offer a space that holds what’s been hard to carry—without pressure, and without expectation. Not to be analysed or fixed, but to be met with warmth and respect. A place to follow your experience wherever it leads, at your own pace.
You don’t need to have a clear idea of what’s wrong. A sense that something hasn’t felt right, or that you want to understand yourself better, is enough.
In our work together, we can begin to look at the patterns and beliefs that have shaped how you move through the world—especially if your sensitivity, neurodivergence, or difference has been overlooked or misunderstood. Your sensitivity isn’t something you’ve picked up along the way—it’s part of who you are. But many people grow up with the message that they need to toughen up, fit in, or hide the parts of themselves that don’t match the norm. Over time, that can lead to shame, self-doubt, or the sense that you’re somehow too much—or not enough.
But what if those parts of you don’t need to be hidden or explained away? What if they’re not flaws at all? What if they’re simply part of what makes you, you?
If any of this feels familiar, you’re welcome to get in touch.
