Jewish Counselling in Heybridge

Are you struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress? Do you feel stuck and unsure about how to help yourself? Perhaps you have tried everything you know to get yourself out of this rut, or dark hole, and nothing has worked? Cognitive-behavioural therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy. In fact, it is the recommended treatment of choice for depression and anxiety. My typical client is a high achieving, hard-working banker, but I welcome clients from all occupational backgrounds and from all parts of the world.

At times, every one of us may face challenges and dilemmas. Reaching milestones in our lives and transition points can leave us confused or emotionally charged. I am a Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with NHS and Harley Street Experience - working with adults, children and young people who may be experiencing depression, anxiety disorders - health anxiety (hypochondria), social anxiety, generalised anxiety, separation anxiety, OCD, PTSD and panic disorder, trichotillomania (hair pulling), excoriation (skin picking), eating disorders and body dysmorphia, loss and bereavement and relationship problems.

Whether due to recent events or past ones, many people struggle with grief, loss, food and body, and traumatic experiences, leaving them feeling stuck, overwhelmed and needing support. My professional expertise is in working with clients struggling with trauma and PTSD; struggling with eating disorders, body image and identity; child and adult bereavement; clients undergoing cancer treatment; end of life care; and carers. This breadth of experience has informed my understanding of the universality of inner conflict and distress, and how the tools of self-exploration and insight are essential to effect change in the here-and-now.

Trauma can have a negative impact on your life, even if it is long past. It can lead to anxieties, toxic relationships, addiction and/or self-harm. It can leave you unable to draw boundaries or feeling worthless and ashamed.

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to friends and can't talk to family, it is all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non-stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friends, sudden or chronic terminal illness, loss of the person you used to be, ageing, guilty lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving, or the prickling heartache from loss of your pet. You don’t even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self. You need a safe space.

Hello, my name is Matthew, I am a qualified integrative therapist working in-person in London, and online across the UK. I have the conviction that it is possible to make sense of our lives and doing so makes good sense. Clients I meet often have a sense of despair around aspects of their lives and find themselves being ‘fed up of being fed up’. This despair however can serve as a useful catalyst in the quest for healing and understanding. Therapy is an opportunity to take stock of our lives and work out what we want them to be, to face ourselves head on.

We aim to work with and support anyone going through a challenging time. Our mission is to support individuals in need of emotional support for their mental health, by providing affordable online Counselling and Psychotherapy, where individuals may not have access to affordable therapy locally.

I work pluralistically from a contemporary biopsychosocial framework that incorporates all aspects of self and I believe that you have many of the answers you are seeking within yourself. My objective is to build a safe and holding space for a trusting relationship where you can explore and share your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and problems/difficulties. Clients often seek therapy because of symptoms affecting their everyday life. However, they are often unaware of the root cause of their self-sabotaging behaviours, relationship issues, and emotional numbness. I also provide a more focused work as a single-session therapy (SST)

Prior to my psychotherapy training I worked in banking in the City for more than twenty years. I have experienced at first hand the challenges that working long hours can present including with respect to mental and physical health and general work/life balance. My perspective on health is holistic, recognising the interdependence of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. My own routine includes a daily meditation practice as well as regular cold immersion and I am a qualified Personal Trainer completing a course in Nutrition for Weight Management and Athletic Performance as part of my training.

During your therapy sessions, we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and develop a plan tailored to your specific needs. I use a range of therapeutic techniques and approaches, depending on my client's presenting issues and preferences. Within my Person-Centred practice, I offer a combination of different modalities including psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. We will work through what has brought you to therapy and any goals, changes or meaning you are wanting. Together we shall walk on your therapeutic journey.

Hi, thanks for stopping on my profile. It can be tricky to know which therapist to contact. The best therapist is the one who you feel most comfortable talking to. This is your life, your journey. Whatever it is that made you open this website, hurts. Talk to someone who empathises and can help you to improve how you feel about yourself.

What a world we live in, hey? So much pain. So much drama, and heartache. Yet, also so much beauty, love, and understanding. There's nothing to do except be here now and show up fully, living as best as we can. This is where therapy begins. It may be hard work to change your habits, or to stop your thoughts spiralling. However you may find stillness, presence and recovery. No matter what adversity you've been through, I believe that you can grow from it and gain resilience.
