Integrative Counsellor
Matthew is a qualified Integrative therapist. Working in an integrative way means that he has a broad understanding of different theoretical approaches to therapy such as, Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Existential approaches, which help him be in tune with the client’s individual needs. He aims to offer a space to explore these issues which is empathic, confidential and trustworthy, with the aim of creating a space in which you feel safe enough to express difficult feelings and emotions. This can also help you to express yourself more freely, in order to explore your emotional reality, accepting what can and cannot be changed, and developing resilience for internal and external discomfort. This will enable you to relate to your environment and to others with less discomfort, which can lead to more functional, creative, and productive lives.

Matthew also has a background in working in different therapeutic based support roles. He has worked as a mentor in a secondary school for teenage students, a support worker for neurodivergent service users, and as a learning support assistant, helping students with different mental health issues reintegrate back into education.
