Matthew Sprange

Hello and thanks for looking at my profile. I am a fully-qualified, and experienced Psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor and work with adults of all ages and young people from the age of 16. 

I aim to offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space in which you can consider any material you choose to bring, and this can be undertaken in short-term or open-ended therapy, both in-person and online.

You may have a very specific issue or issues to bring to therapy; or you may not know precisely why you want to come, but just feel that it might help you. Whatever your circumstances may be, I will try to listen to you in a way which will frame our conversation to enable you to reach a deeper level of understanding about yourself, your patterns in life and any unconscious forces which might be present in your life. The therapeutic space is for you to fill, and I will not offer you advice or give you my opinion: what I will do is highlight some of what you say, and see where that takes us.

Therapy is above all, an act of listening. Through my listening to you in a way which you may not have experienced before, you may become able to listen to yourself in a different, and possibly more authentic, manner. 

 Therapy does not work to a template, there is no method or recipe. Two people sit in a room together and talk: what happens next is why we are there.

COUPLES THERAPY

I am currently undertaking a course of further, specialised, training in therapy for couples, and will complete the first stage of this later in 2024. As part of this process, I am looking for some couples to work with, and can offer therapy at a reduced rate of £75 per 50-minute session. These sessions will, at this time, only be available online. 

We will agree a precise fee in our first session and I may be able, if appropriate, to offer some concessionary rates.
