Welcome, I am Mathew Bergan (he, they), a therapist for individuals with a somatic focus. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Gestalt psychotherapy, EMDR, Brainspotting. My practice specialises in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties, including the impacts of early developmental experiences. I draw from an integrative, body-aware approach that supports awareness, agency, and self-direction. Our work together centres on what is happening in the present moment, allowing insight to emerge through a relational process.
I pay close attention to the dialogue between mind and body, recognising that trauma and emotional pain are held physically as well as psychologically. By working with the body, we create pathways for regulation, expression, and healing that extend beyond words alone. Therapy with me focuses on loosening limiting patterns and strengthening your capacity.
Together we make space to explore difficult feelings, clarify needs, and gently shift the blocks that restrict movement in your life. I am particularly interested in the ways early experiences shape adult relationships, and I approach this work with care and a deep respect for your own pace. All parts of your experience are welcome in the room.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, sexuality or trauma. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I use Gestalt Therapy a relational, psychotherapy offering agency in the present moment. Rather than focusing solely on the past, it helps clients notice how they are living, relating, and responding right now, allowing new possibilities to emerge. Brainspotting is a gentle, body-based therapy designed to process emotionally charged experiences. EMDR trauma processing through rapid eye movement.
