You may be looking at this website because something has got out of hand, it isn’t quite right, you may be feeling overwhelmed, a bit stressed or anxious and experiencing feelings of being unable to cope. Perhaps your doctor, friend or another health therapist has suggested you consider talking through your dilemma to help seek clarity to see your situation from a different perspective. If this sounds like you then you have come to the right place and I may be able to help you gain understanding of your situation. The symptoms you are experiencing are simply a sign something is wrong. Through collaboration I can help you.

Hi I'm Matthew. My style is warm and free of judgement. It’s often easier to talk to a confidential person unconnected to your family or friends. I work with anxiety and depression, relationships, loss, abuse, self-esteem, anger, social anxiety or those who are stuck. Improvement comes from insight, new behaviours, understanding and acceptance but also from stepwise, practical change. If requested I can work in a more active and future focused way with the current advice, tools, exercises and activities supported by the evidence base.

Perhaps you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, or struggling to make sense of your life, whether it's because of a recent event, or a build up of issues and feelings over time that are getting in the way of your relationships, your personal and professional life. Maybe you've been trying to cope and "get on with it", but that's not working. In my experience, deciding to get curious about what's going on, face some challenging issues and think about how you'd like things to be different, with someone who will listen without judgement, can be life changing.

I appreciate that people might be coming to therapy with different preconceptions, goals, past experiences, and/or worries. As starting therapy takes a lot of courage, it is important we go at your pace. As such, our first session together will focus on: Getting to know each other to make sure I am the right fit for you, and exploring the difficulties you would like support with. We might also start to develop your goals and think about the type of therapy best suited to meet these. covering other important aspects such as confidentiality, session length, and timings so we know what to expect from each other.

I am a Canadian psychologist and BACP-registered psychotherapist based in London. With 15+ years' experience across the public and private sectors, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals and communities. I began my journey in the world of Science, driven by a desire to understand how things work. Over time, that same curiosity expanded to the most complex system of all - people. This led me to transition into Psychology and Counselling, where I could explore human behaviour more deeply and meaningfully. Throughout my career, my focus has remained the same: genuine listening for deeper understanding.

People who come to see me often carry the weight of secrets, unresolved stress, and strained relationships, leading to an internal world that feels unmanageable. Without someone they feel secure enough to confide in, these challenges can feel overwhelming, affecting their ability to live more fulfilling lives. For many, experiences like loss, neglect, or difficult childhoods contribute to anxiety, depression, and feelings of disconnection, issues with sex and sexuality and inability to make life changes. Having a space to talk openly and in confidence can bring relief, making what once felt unmanageable more manageable.
