I have a strong history of helping both children and adults overcome their difficulties and achieve their life goals, whatever they may be. I have a specialist interest in womens health, anxiety, menopause and managing chronic illness.

Hi, I'm Matt, thank you for reading my profile. I'm a Chartered and Registered Clinical Psychologist working with adults of all ages who are experiencing psychological difficulties.

Finding the therapist that is right for you might like a feel daunting prospect, especially at a time when you may be feeling vulnerable or uncertain, perhaps at a crossroads in your life. This is not unusual, whether this is the first time you have sought therapy or have taken therapy in the past. Sometimes we need help to overcome conflicts and blocks in our life that are confusing or difficult . I understand that you are a unique and complex individual, with many facets and aspects that make you who you are, which impact on how you experience yourself, and how you have had to adapt to face life's struggles.

Life can you hit you hard! I know this from experience. The good news is, that there is always a way back, no matter how hopeless the situation might feel at the time. The fact that you are here right now shows that you have the inner strength and desire to move forward. That in itself is huge, and the first step towards discovering (or re-discovering) the person that you truly are. Maybe you are feeling stressed? or suffer from anxiety? Are you struggling with a past traumatic experience? or the loss of a loved one? You could be stuck in a rut and not know why? Whatever it may be, remember that it does not have to be permanent.

If you keep finding yourself in a familiar situation in relationships, at work or with yourself and can't seem to find a way forward however hard you try; or maybe you recognise that you are trying to cope with things in potentially damaging ways; or are intruded upon by events or memories from the past, then reaching out for support to develop new perspectives on your situation may be the new path to follow. Let's see if I can help?

Is there a growing distance between you and your partner? Are criticism, hurts, resentment and bitterness beginning to dominate your relationship? If so, I guess you may both be feeling weary and wounded, you may even be wondering whether you are with the right person. If this is your experience, don’t panic. Struggle is a normal part of intimate relationship and Imago Relationship Counselling offers genuine hope. Imago is a form of couples counselling which is focused on enabling you and your partner to break destructive patterns of behaviour, to reconnect at a deeper level and to experience understanding, love & joy again.

For some, life throws us a curveball and often when we’re least expecting it. Others may feel that pressures have been building over a long period of time. We can face challenges and get stuck which sometimes can be overwhelming. Depression, anxiety, stresses and issues in life may lead you to needing a person to talk to who is neutral, non-judgmental, empathetic and a good listener. Your wellbeing is important to me so I will treat you with the upmost respect and work with you to help achieve your goals. Based in Eccleshall I am close to Stafford, Stone, Market Drayton, Loggerheads, Stoke, Newport and Telford.

Welcome to my profile, I understand just how difficult and challenging life can be at times, it may be a strained or broken relationship, family problems, self-esteem issues holding you back, a bereavement, depression, anxiety or work stress. Just talking through your worries and problems can really help. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you are listened to, in an atmosphere of calm and respect that is confidential. Together we can unravel your thoughts and feelings about the past and present to bring a new insight and clarity to your situation, enabling you to move towards a more positive future and wellbeing.

Hello and Welcome to my profile. I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and believe in people as individuals. Whatever your endeavours, your challenges, your turmoils and your stories I believe that being heard with genuine care and compassion can help us to recover from ongoing distress and help us to move forward. Additionally, learning about and drawing upon strategies to help alleviate stress & anxiety can be both empowering and transformative. I offer counselling from a person centred core, integrating other counselling theories and resources depending on the needs of my clients.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my profile. I offer Counselling to couples and individuals Monday-Thursday day and evening sessions. I offer support with issues including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, bereavement and loss and coping with life's difficulties. I work with adults aged 18 and over. Whatever the issue might be let's have chat about it and see if we can work together to help you through.

Counselling is available face to face/via WhatsApp. Practice is based on academic research and personal experiences. I assist and enable clients to better understand dysfuntional thinking practices; to prevent traumatic experiences impacting on their present thinking practices. Areas of expertise: anxiety and anger: trauma related issues (combat, childhood, self harm ideation): sexual identity: work/education anxieties: low mood/depression: Combat related PTSD (including family members): all transitional issues. Clients are the expert of their own lives. I offer a free 15 minute phone call to discuss your issues.

Exploring the possibility of counselling/psychotherapy is a courageous step, one which can enable you to become more fully yourself. Therapy should be a place where you can feel safe and accepted, where you find it easier to share things that are concerning you. It can be a place where you come to find out more about yourself, to challenge yourself and make choices and decisions that lead towards a more positive and hopeful future. Sometimes there is something from our past, an event or an aspect of ourselves, that seems to be holding us back, and therapy can support us in addressing those things too.

I am an experienced counsellor, psychotherapist & lecturer with availability to see private clients for therapy or clinical supervision. If you are facing a difficult time in your life I can help with a programme of therapy tailored to you & your needs. I aim to create for you a warm, safe, supportive space where you can explore areas of your life that feel difficult, problematic or painful. Here's a testimonial from CT (not their real name) "I met with Paul when I was struggling to cope in various areas of my life. It was such a positive decision, I learned so much about myself and how to cope with issues I was dealing with".

Maybe it's a sense of being lost in the world. Maybe an overwhelming feeling of weariness or confusion. It could be a loss of part of yourself or uncertainty of who you are and want to be. In counselling, you open up the map of your life and we look at all the journeys and explorations which you have made. Together we get to look in more detail at the landscapes of your life, the roads you have travelled, what has brought you to the place you are right now. It’s a process that can allow you to not only learn more about yourself but also about how you see the world around you.

Feeling depressed, anxious and unworthy; suffering loss, bereavement, relationship issues, or just wanting to make sense of the world and know yourself better? Counselling can help. As a psychotherapist my main concern is to provide you with an environment where you fell feel safe and accepted. A place where you can speak freely and reflect without be judged regardless of who you are. A safe place where you can grow and blossom - I will not offer advice, but will offer a response appropriate to the material you have shared, perhaps offering a new perspective. Finding the right counsellor is a very important step in a person’s life.
