'Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.'
- James Baldwin
RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
Communicate, Heal & Reconnect.
MY GOAL
I aim to support my clients to develop the tools and resilience to better cope with the world around them, be at peace with the events of the past and more confident about approaching the future.
Everyone has their own unique experience of life and what may be effective for one individual may not work well for others. I believe in aiming for personal, bespoke and sustainable solutions which allow my clients to come away from therapy better prepared to independently live their lives and maintain good mental health.
MY APPROACH
I am a person-centred psychotherapist by training however along my professional journey I have picked up some useful techniques from other modalities such as Solution-focussed brief therapy and CBT, which, where appropriate, I integrate into my practice to adapt to the needs of each client.
I have experience working with a wide range of different individuals of all different backgrounds and age groups and have found a real value in honest human connection. For this reason, I am quite a relaxed sort of practitioner, I don't get hung up on formalities and welcome any style of communication that feels natural in order to create a safe space for authentic self-expression.
BOOK A CONSULTATION
It's important that you feel confident that you are able to get the most out of therapy and choosing the right therapist can feel like a daunting task!
This is why I welcome anyone who would like a free informal 15-20 minute chat to give me call or drop me an email so that I can get a sense of what you're looking for and what working together might feel like.
Does Relationship Therapy
Work?
The state of our relationships can often be what dictates the quality of our lives.
Whether there's an immediate issue that needs addressing, historical concerns that have gone unresolved or future concerns that are difficult to voice, relationship therapy creates a space within which both parties can be heard and understood.
I specialise in communication, infidelity and trust issues, pre-marital counselling, conflict resoltuion, parenting styles, attachment styles and intimacy issues.
Sometimes there is a concern that I might be biased in one way or another, perhaps in favour of who's hurt most or who contacted me first - to put it simply, I am biased in favour what ever will result in healthy outcomes for the relationship.
I like to work proactively, meaning if there are any suggestions I can make, techniques I can share with you or behaviours that need calling out - I will do just that.

Sessions are held online via Google Meet and each individual session typically lasts 50 minutes although extended or double session are available.
For the best results I recommend having sessions on a weeky basis however I do also offer sessions on a bi-weekly basis.

We approached Matthew when our relationship was at crisis point. Matthew helped us to truly understand each other and, after a while, we saw our relationship improve and love come back into our lives.
We honestly cant thank Matthew enough!
Tim & Carolina - Married 12 years
All I can say is thank you!! We were on the edge of splitting up but working with Matthew helped us communicate much better and stay together as a result!
We learned how to have a much less toxic relationship with each other and the tips that Matt gave us have been invaluable!
Candace & Ade - Married 4 years
Couple's therapy with Matthew has completely changed our relationship.
We were stagnant and in a very low place, Matthew helped us aim for something better.
There were definitely ups and downs but Matthew encouraged us throughout the whole process.
We would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone thinking of having couple's therapy.
James & Vicky - Together 9 years, now engaged!
Although we decided to end our relationship, therapy with Matthew really helped make the end of our relationship as painless as it possibly could have been.
Thanks to Matthew we found a way to end things amicably and remain healthy co-parents for our 2 boys.
We appreciated how understanding Matthew was of our situation and our past traumas. Matthew clearly cares about his work and it was a privilege to have him support us through a difficult time.
