About me
Are you tired of keeping up appearances? It takes an exhausting amount of energy to go through life wearing a mask, pretending everything is "fine" while secretly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from your true voice. If you are navigating an identity shift, relationship struggles, or just feel stuck in life's messier moments, you don't have to carry it alone.
Hey, I'm Matt (he/him). I provide a warm, inclusive, and down-to-earth space in Leeds (LS6) and online where you can finally take off the armour. There is no judgment here, no performance, and no clinical jargon; just a real, compassionate human space where your voice and identity are deeply respected.
As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we will gently explore what is holding you back, helping you reconnect with your innate strengths, break free from old patterns, and gain the freedom to live life entirely on your own terms.
How to take the next step:
Starting therapy can feel daunting, which is why I make the initial step as low-pressure as possible. I offer a free, brief introductory chat so you can see if my approach feels like the right fit for you. Drop me a message today, and let's take it from there.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which means I comply with ethical and proficiency standards.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
