Hi I'm Matthew. My style is warm and free of judgement. It’s often easier to talk to a confidential person unconnected to your family or friends. I work with anxiety and depression, relationships, loss, abuse, self-esteem, anger, social anxiety or those who are stuck. Improvement comes from insight, new behaviours, understanding and acceptance but also from stepwise, practical change. If requested I can work in a more active and future focused way with the current advice, tools, exercises and activities supported by the evidence base.
I am a qualified CBT and integrative therapist experienced working with anxiety, depression, generalised anxiety, shyness, phobia, health anxiety and OCD. I'm flexible – I can either give you the space to talk, or if you would rather not revisit painful memories, or require advice and techniques, there is plenty of useful work we can do.
Please contact me for a chat on the phone - I will make time for you and seek to understand your problem. I know how hard the first step is. The call is 30 minutes and is free. I will have a few routine questions, and it’s an opportunity for you to ask me anything that you are curious about.
Call or Matthew Gould now for a free 15 minute consultation - 020 4538 4899

I have 12 year's experience in private, NHS, and agency settings. I am trained in different modalities, including ACT, CBT, DBT, DIT, psychodynamic. I tailor the therapy for each client. Therapists can be tribal about style but I think client needs transcend opinion on modality.

We will begin first with the most problematic issue, setting a goal and using evidence based tools to alleviate any distress or anxiety symptoms. Followed by other problems. There are activities, but there is also space to just talk - I modulate the ratio of these two as needed. Most people see a lifting of very severe symptoms almost immediately and gradual improvement thereafter.

In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide together ways to help you feel better using compatible theories drawn from ACT, CBT, Humanist and Psychodynamic methods. There are a range of ways to do this depending on how you would like to work - some clients need unencumbered space to talk, others prefer structured goal-led work with practical tools.
