In Person Counselling in Manchester
I offer face to face therapy on weekday evenings, from my office in Hackney London.
Hi, I’m Matt. I know how hard it can be to take that first step toward feeling better. But if your struggling for whatever reason, I think I can help. For many years I’ve been studying how thoughts and emotions work together to shape our experience, and sometimes cause us great suffering. This led me to develop a system of therapy combining counselling, visualisation and meditation techniques, to help to process painful emotions and bypass negative thought patterns. Often, bringing a new found sense of peace, clarity and joy.

I am a warm and approachable psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and EMDR trauma therapy in a supportive, collaborative space. I work in a neuro-affirming way, adapting therapy to meet individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I aim to create a calm, non-judgemental environment where you feel heard and understood, whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, or life transitions.

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist and work with adults and couples experiencing relationship and emotional difficulties.
People access therapy for many different reasons, but generally we are most likely to reach out for help when our usual coping strategies are no longer effective. At these times it may not be helpful to turn to family or friends, as their well-meaning support may not always help.
I offer weekly sessions in a calm and professional environment.
If you would be interested in working with me please get in touch by email and I will aim to respond within 24 hours.

Hello! In some respects, because you're reading this, you’ve already made the biggest step. I get that reaching out for support can be scary, but recognising you need some support is often the first step in the journey to become the best version of you!
Sometimes, life can be tough...! You may be at a point in your life when you feel stuck, and unable to move on, and don’t know what to do - this is absolutely ok. You might feel that your life could improve and that you could live it more fully - this is definitely ok. You may have noticed you keep repeating unhelpful behaviour patterns - this is ok, too.

Life is challenging and full of struggles. You may be feeling stuck or lost, out of control, low in mood, swamped by feelings of worry, guilt, shame or anger. Maybe you are finding it difficult to feel grounded in your life and connected to those around you. You could be experiencing a sense of emptiness that you can’t explain. You are not broken; you are simply responding the things that have happened to you. You are important and you deserve to feel peace and presence in your life.

Sometimes life throws us challenges both through past and present experiences, which knock us off our feet and we become engulfed in uncertainty, worry and fear. It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, it deserves care, attention and compassion. You may be struggling to make meaning of what is going on around as you navigate life changes or have experienced traumatic events that you need some relief from. Whatever you are going through, I hope to help.

I'm taking on new clients for both face to face and online sessions most evenings, all day Friday and Saturday mornings.
Many of my clients come to me overwhelmed, stuck, anxious and confused about how to feel better. They've tried a whole host of self help options, they've read all the books, listened to all the podcasts and tried countless instagram remedies and quick fix solutions but to no avail. They are often tired and exhausted from all of their efforts and just can't quite figure out what to do. My style of therapy is not a short term 'plaster over the wound' approach but instead heals from the bottom up.

I offer face to face therapy sessions in a friendly setting, or on-line for those wanting the comfort of their own home.
I understand that it can be hard to reach out for therapy, especially when you may be finding life tough at the moment. Or perhaps you are in a better place and have decided that you want to explore aspects of your life. Either way, please do contact me to discuss your needs. In therapy sessions I would work with you to process your past so that you can see how it impacts the present. For many there is the need to grieve for what has been lost, whilst giving the opportunity to identify and embrace your true inner self. You would strengthen ‘Adult’ you, freeing yourself to embrace life.

Although I regularly work with clients of all ages and genders, the majority of my clients tend to be young men, who have unresolved feelings or experiences which are impacting on their daily lives. I work as an integrative counsellor, from a person-centred perspective. This means that you can bring whatever you wish to the session, while we work at your pace and depth. I employ theory and techniques from CBT, psychodynamic and other therapeutic philosophies which I feel may be useful. Where we start is not the important thing as ultimately, you will naturally discover the things that matter the most to you.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
