Matthew Clark, Psychotherapist, DCPsych, MBACP

About me

Within my Sheffield and York practice, I offer short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy to adults from all walks of life, experiencing a diverse range of difficulties. Therapy can be an opportunity to explore and understand parts of your life that you may feel are affecting you in some way. My role is to accompany you on this journey where together, we can explore and make sense of your world and find ways to move forward.

I have worked for several years across both short and long-term psychotherapy settings with adults and children. I have a firm grounding in the major approaches to psychotherapy and am able to work with numerous life issues including: stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship difficulties. I also see people who may be going through periods of change and upheaval such as: career changes, separation or other family transitions. My EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) training also allows me to work effectively with those who may have suffered traumatic life events, which may include but is not limited to, road traffic accidents and other single event traumas.

My therapeutic training is in integrative therapy. This means that my approach is not to use one exclusive therapy, but instead, to respond to each person’s needs with a bespoke response using several of the main approaches of counselling psychology. There are many therapeutic approaches to counselling and psychotherapy; however, research shows that it is ultimately the relationship which is the most important factor in therapeutic change. As such, I believe that the relationship between you and I will be instrumental in our work.
