At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

These past six sessions with Matthew were all very rich in experience and knowkledge gained. We can confidently say that these sessions have helped us both individually and as a couple. Matthew has always been calm and pleaseant to interact with. He guided and taught us a set of method that have helped us communicating more clearly and helped us share our thoughts and feelings, amongst others. Doing so has also helped us learned more about each other and ourselves. These sessions have helped us and it is our hope that what we have learnt will continue to serve us well in the future. If you are part of a couple that struggle to either arriculate and / or resolve conflict, we highly recommend Matthew.

As somebody that was completely nervous about talking to somebody from the second I met John, I knew I had someone in my corner. I appreciate him more than words could ever explain. Thanks, John !!

This is my first time speaking with a therapist, and now I actually look forward to my sessions each week. It's nice to speak with someone who not only wants to listen but understands and offers support. John is a great listener and remembers all the little details of our sessions. He's knowledgeable in the area of support I require, and I feel he really understands what I've been through and gives great advice on what I can do to make positive steps forward. John gives me hope that things can and will get better !!!
