About me

Hi,

My name is Matt and I have been a Counsellor for over 5 years with experience working with adults and young people in both a therapeutic and educational setting.  This has included working extensively with people who identify as neurodivergent and a range of wonderfully unique clients.

I am passionate about promoting mental health awareness, however believe this is best done in a safe and professional environment.

The here and now, the clients meaning and a strong belief in the clients ability for self growth, are at the heart of eveything I do.  Using trust and the therapeutic relationship to create a safe time and space for the client to fully be their whole self. Putting these key aspects of psychotherapy at the forfront of my practice is fundamental to determine positive growth and outcomes. 

 Working online I feel is the best way to promote access to my services including many people whq may not be able to engage in face to face sessions and allows clients to connect with the support they require while remaining in the comfortable and familiar environment of their own home. 

I have a range of session times to accommodate for a a busy lifestyle so please feel free to contact me for further details. 

Being a member of the BACP* ensures a commitment to evidence based practice as well as a strict ethical and moral framework.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
