About me and my therapy practice
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 as a grief companion attached to a hospice.
I work relationally, which means I place great emphasis on the value in building our relationship, as well as the way that other relationships function in your life. We work in the here and now, with some attention to how your past might be impacting you currently.
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.
Practice description
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.
My first session
Our initial contact will be email. If I have space and you agree to go ahead, I will send you a questionnaire to complete and return before we meet. At our first session, we will discuss your answers and begin to establish a working relationship. I work with individuals and couples.

About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Matt. Before I trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, I supported adults and young people through complex physical and psychological challenges. I have worked as a mentor with young adults excluded from mainstream education, and as a grief companion attached to a hospice.
I place great emphasis on working relationally, which means we work together in the here and now, with a view of how your past life is affecting you and your current relationships. How our relationship develops, and supports you, is at the heart of my work.

Our work together will look at patterns that have developed over your life and how they manifest currently. Sometimes, we carry shame for those parts of ourselves that we find unacceptable.
Some life experiences and memories can sit deeply in our bodies, and at times I might suggest using 'Focusing,' body memory work, for us to explore some of the more stuck and difficult areas.

About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Matt. Before qualifying as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, I supported adults and young people through complex physical and psychological challenges. I have worked as a mentor with students excluded from mainstream education, and as a grief companion attached to a hospice.
I work relationally, which means that I really value relationships and like to help them function effectively. Our work together will help me tune to your relational needs.
I think that being human can be a mysterious and unsettling business, and that most of us benefit from personal therapy at some point in our lives. 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 would 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. We will look at patterns from the past and see how these affect daily life and relationships. Creating and maintaining fulfilling and loving relationships is something we all aspire to.
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.

Practice description
I trained in psychosynthesis, which is a transpersonal psychology. The approach promotes greater self-understanding, with a belief that we all have an inherent desire for growth. It is a useful approach in relation to issues around self-worth. In our sessions, we will explore your sense of self, beyond your day to day personal identity. I work with both individuals and couples.
My first session
Our first contact will be via email. If I am able to find you a space, and you wish to continue, I will email you a questionnaire to complete and return before we meet. Our first session will be spent discussing your answers and broadly agreeing the scope of our work together. This will also allow us to begin to get to know each other.

Availability
I currently have some daytime availability for individuals on weekdays for walking and talking sessions, in Dulwich Park and Sydenham Woods (£60). I can also offer daytime face to face sessions for individuals and couples in London Bridge, SE1, and Peckham, SE15. £75 and £85 respectively.
About me and my therapy practice
I am a therapeutic 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 as a grief companion attached to a hospice.
I believe in the power of working in nature, and although London parks are not deep countryside, they still offer some sense of the natural world that we are all part of. Walking and talking in nature is also sometimes easier than sitting in a room with a therapist.
I work relationally, which means I place great emphasis on the value in building our relationship, as well as the effectiveness and function of the other relationships in your life. We work in the here and now, and consider how your past life might be impacting you currently.

What might bring you to therapy?
I think that being human can be a mysterious and unsettling business, and that everyone could benefit from counselling 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 will 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 ego and 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 experiences and memories can be felt deeply in our bodies, and at times I use 'Focusing,' body memory work, for us to explore some of the more stuck and difficult areas. Memories, and early behaviour patterning, can impact your current life and relationships. There may be parts of you that you find unnacceptable or difficult to live with. We can explore these areas in a safe and compassionate way.
We can either work longer-term or short term, depending on your needs.
I will usually respond to all inquiries within 24 hours.
