Matt Goss
About me
I am a qualified experienced and an Accredited MBACP counsellor with a number of years experience working for the NHS in a GP surgery carrying out short and long term therapy with adults. I also work with children and young people in primary and secondary schools, using a variety of non-directive play and art therapy techniques. Counselling is a way of exploring issues, feelings, relationships and behaviours in order to improve your well being. I work in a non-judgemental and empathic way and my aim is to provide you with a safe and confidential space to enable you to work through and explore issues at your own pace.

I qualified as an Integrative therapist from the University of Kent almost 10years ago.
I have worked since qualifying for the NHS in a doctors surgery as well as in private practice carrying out long and short term therapy with adults of all ages and presenting with numerous issues .

I am accredited with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCS) .
Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
