Matthew Armitage

Hello I'm Matt, thanks for taking a look at my profile. I recognise how difficult it can be to choose a counsellor, from this list of faces and information. Let me know if you'd like to talk to me over zoom or phone before you book your first session.

I work with people who are seeking support due to a loss or betrayal, to help with anxiety, depression, workplace stress, family stresses and health issues. I also have a specific interest in supporting people who are neurodiverse.

I have worked for the NHS since my early 20s, much of this time was spent working in an area that helps people with severe and enduring mental health conditions. Being immersed in the world of mental health started my interest in the field, which began my journey to becoming a counsellor. I am now part of a thriving practice and have worked with many remarkable people.

I hope to provide you with a space where you can speak freely, without filters. Where nothing feels too strange, odd or dark to explore with me. This freedom of exploration quite often means things begin to feel clearer and more doable.

I respect that it's not always easy to see a therapist, to explore inner fears and anxieties, and it takes real courage to do it. We will approach this together, at your own pace, with your wellbeing at the heart of the process.

I am currently offering in-person, telephone and online counselling sessions.

I have undergone rigorous training to offer Telephone and Online counselling sessions and wholeheartedly believe that they are not second best when it comes to therapy.

 I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and adhere to their professional framework.

My fees payable by bank transfer are:

£50 for an individual counselling session.

To make counselling as accessible as possible I offer a limited number of appointments available with concessions for students, those on low income or unemployed at £40 per session
