Matthew | Counsellor / Psychotherapist

Introduction

Hello, I'm Matthew, and I aspire to work with anyone seeking to understand themselves better by working with your issues. Working with the Person-Centred approach I aim to meet you as you are: Wholly, unconditionally, and without judgement.  I am naturally curious about people, and seek to use this to help facilitate the change, growth, and healing you are trying to achieve.

I'm experienced working with individuals processing grief, trauma, loss, addiction, depression, anxiety, and questioning identity. The goal of our therapy is what you want it to be - that could be a deeper understanding of your self, healing trauma events, or tools and coping strategies.

I seek to actively respond to what you bring to our sessions, and assist you identifying what is truly important. We work together, in partnership, to explore and understand where distress and concerns come from, gently facilitating ways forward. 

Reaching out and asking for help is hard - heck, that's why you're here! (and if you've made it this far, thank you!) It takes a lot to reach out and start on a path to healing. And though the forest may not be visible for the trees, you are not alone. Send me a message, say hi, and ask me any questions you have. I offer free introductory meetings, so we can meet and see if we're a good fit.

Sessions with me are for a full hour, and can be held in person or digitally via Zoom. I look forward to hearing from you.
