Through talking and expressing, patients embark on a process - a move into new territory. Patterns that may seem unchangeable and fixed can become more fluid in therapy, allowing one to loosen up and potential create space for new understandings and ways of being to emerge. This is not often a quick or an easy journey. I often see patients for weekly sessions and sometimes over long periods. There are often unconscious (and conscious) motivations for remaining where we are and it can take time for this to become clear. I have a couch for patients to invite dreams and memories as a way of accessing other parts of the self. .

I have worked for over 25 years with folks who have struggled with a range of internal, interpersonal, relational, and environmental challenges and questions. This includes: difficult thoughts; "stuck" patterns of behavior, including addictions; persistent sadness and depression; relationship and family difficulties; loneliness; thoughts of life-and-death; trauma; identity and sexuality questions; experiences of madness; and other difficult life situations. I focus on working with adolescents (16+), young adults (18-25), and adults of all ages. I also work with men of all ages on questions of masculinity and "manhood".

Hello, my name is Matthew, I am a qualified integrative therapist working online via Zoom from my therapy space in East London.
Working integratively allows me to cater to the needs of my clients by drawing from a range of theoretical, practical and philosophical sources. My style is warm and collaborative with emphasis placed on the client-therapist relationship. When therapy works, it frees us from our stories, and together, this is what we will work toward.

My initial interest in Existential therapy was informed by my personal and professional experiences. Throughout the years I have explored diverse ways of supporting my clients, looking to improve their emotional and spiritual balance. Existential therapy encapsulates all my core beliefs about the therapeutic process and the powerful therapeutic connection between psychology and philosophy. It is anchored in the lived experiences (not their theoretical representation) and their relational context. It relates to human existence and predicaments, our choices and responsibilities, meaning and purpose, freedom and limitations.

This is what I ultimately strive to create for my patients, in the human encounter of the therapy room (be it online or in person).
I am influenced by a range of modalities, but mainly existential philosophy and psychoanalysis. Litterature & psychiatry are important sources of inspirations in my therapy space. Personal agency, courage, and responsibility always have a fundamental role to play. "Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times" – Aeschylus

Sessions are held virtually, making it easy to connect from anywhere in the U
Are you feeling stuck between who you’ve had to be and who you want to become? You may be navigating a life transition, people-pleasing, or burnout from holding everything together. As an American expat or someone adjusting to major change, you may feel unseen, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others. I help adults move from overwhelm to clarity through a warm, trauma-informed approach grounded in mindfulness, somatic work, and nervous system regulation—helping you build self-trust, set healthy boundaries, and feel at home within yourself again. Healing begins when you feel safe to be you.

When we first meet, I want it to feel like a space where we can genuinely get to know each other. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is a priority for me, as I believe this foundation is key to creating a safe, trusting environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and supported from the outset, knowing that you can express yourself openly without judgement. Together, we’ll set clear, achievable therapeutic goals, and we’ll revisit them as we move forward, adjusting along the way to ensure that we’re always working towards what matters most to you.

Through the experiences we share in therapy, we will learn more about you. I aim to develop a relationship with you that is based on openness and acknowledgment, in hope of delving deeper into your lived experience. Through our experiences together we aim to reach a richer understanding of who you are and who you wish to become. Often, change will come from these revelations. The essence of this change will be expressed through our ongoing work together. I work with all people.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable and outwardly functioning, yet privately feel anxious, emotionally weighed down, or stuck in relationship patterns that don’t shift through insight alone. Since 2009, I've been committed to supporting clients in their healing journey by offering talking therapy, marriage counselling and conducting over 4000 successful EMDR sessions. Specialised training with Esther Perel enriches my marriage counselling approach, exploring issues like recurring arguments, struggles with intimacy and connection, emotional shutdowns.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
