Hello, I’m Matt. I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor, with a background in supporting adults and young
people through physical and psychological challenges. I have worked as a mentor with young adults
excluded from mainstream education, and currently volunteer as a grief counsellor attached to a
hospice. I work with individuals and couples. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow the Ethical Framework of the BACP that protects both clients and therapists.
What might lead you to therapy?
I think that being human can be a mysterious and unsettling business, and that most of us can benefit
from personal therapy at some point. There are times when your voice needs to be heard in a safe and
supportive place.
You may be experiencing a particularly tough period in your life, where relationships are unsatisfying
and you feel unloved, with a sense of pain and isolation and a longing for more. You may feel a deep
grief or sense of loss, without a clear idea about its origin. In our work together, I offer you a committed,
non-judgmental relationship, a safe space for us to explore your story from a deeper place, and an
opportunity to reflect on meaning, beyond everyday identities.
Creating and maintaining fulfilling and loving relationships is something we all aspire to, but this is never easy. Some of your fears and anxieties
may be related to our very fragile existence as humans on planet earth in these challenging times.
Some memories can be felt deeply in our bodies, and at times I might suggest using ‘Focusing,’ body
memory work, for you to explore some of the most stuck and difficult areas.
I offer an initial free 20-minute phone call. I can work in-person (London Bridge, SE1 and Peckham, SE15)
