I see people who have issues with addiction, anger management, general anxiety, loss, stress, depression, work place intimidation and working out who you are! I am an empathetic person and my place is to help and not to judge. I worked in corporate life for many years meeting and dealing with a wide spectrum of people in all areas of life and different nationalities. I offer the space for you to talk and think only about you, and how you would like to feel, as opposed to how you are feeling now. Initial 30 minute session is free, to see how we get along. Regular sessions are 50 minutes.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, anger and burnout. Typically my clients are outwardly coping but internally tense, overthinking or exhausted. This can show up as snapping at family, constant worry, difficulty switching off after work, loss of confidence, panic symptoms, or feeling stuck despite doing everything expected of them. By understanding yourself in terms of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, you can consider change, and create your own action plan on how you can live your life better, in the way you want to.

I work with people who are outwardly capable but inwardly struggling with work-related stress, anxiety, confidence, career uncertainty, or workplace tensions.
You’re functioning at work, but exhausted underneath. You meet expectations and keep going, yet work drains more than it gives back. You carry stress home, replay conversations, and second-guess yourself. The politics, unspoken dynamics, and difficult relationships take more energy than the work itself. Some days it’s anxiety; other days it’s feeling stuck — driven, capable, but worn down. You want space to talk honestly about work pressure, confidence, and direction, without having to perform or push through.

Many of the people who reach out to me are thoughtful, self-aware, and used to coping alone. From the outside life may look steady, but internally they feel overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Some are questioning identity, relationships, or direction in life; others feel pressure at work or struggle to feel “enough.” They want a space where they don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or be judged. Their goal is to understand themselves more clearly, feel calmer and more confident, and make choices that feel authentic rather than driven by fear or expectation.

You're holding it together. But it's costing you.
Maybe it's stress that won't switch off. Anxiety that follows you everywhere. Something from the past that still shows up in the present. Or simply the weight of too much, for too long.
You've tried managing it. You might even be good at it. But you're tired of managing... and you want it to actually change.
That's what I do.
I'm Dr Matt Slavin, Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Therapist.
I don't just treat symptoms. I fully assess and understand what's driving them, then build a focused plan to change it at the root.

How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
