Person-centred care and evidence-based online therapy
Matthew works from a person-centred perspective, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people discover their own solutions. This approach is suited to individuals seeking a supportive space to explore feelings, relationships, identity, and life transitions.
He also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, using methods supported by research to address specific difficulties. These techniques can help people develop practical strategies for managing symptoms, improving coping skills, and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Matthew will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and can adapt methods as the work progresses.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility that fits different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it possible to access regular support from a registered professional without the need to travel, and they can be especially useful for people balancing work, family, or mobility considerations.
