Working with Client-Centered and Existential Approaches Online



Matthew’s practice draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people build self-understanding, improve self-esteem, and address issues such as anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties.

He also integrates existential therapy, which explores meaning, choice, and personal values. That approach can be useful for those grappling with life purpose, feelings of emptiness, or major transitions, helping clients face uncertainty and make more authentic decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Matthew works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the work as understanding deepens.
