Evidence-Based Techniques and Remote Support



Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs presented in each session. He offers structured, skills-focused work that teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties - this approach helps clients develop strategies for coping, regulation, and day-to-day functioning. He also provides relational and attachment-focused work that explores patterns in relationships, issues such as abandonment and codependency, and communication or commitment challenges to help clients build healthier connections. Additionally, his practice includes trauma-sensitive approaches that carefully address past abuse and dissociation at a pace that suits the client, supporting processing and recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Matthew collaborates with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques as understanding deepens so therapy remains a joint effort.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, family, and travel. Remote options make ongoing engagement more accessible for local and international clients, allowing continuity of care and consistent progress regardless of location.
