‘Matt counselled me after my relationship of over a decade ended. I immediately felt comfortable in Matt’s presence - his ability to make me feel heard and his down to earth nature made me feel so understood. He was both a huge comfort/support through my healing journey and the perfect advocate for helping me take the steps to reclaim my life back.
I would definitely look to Matt again if I wanted counselling in the future, his counselling skills are second to none. Calming, encouraging and a safe space for sharing exactly how I felt each session. Thank you Matt!’
Annette
‘Matt has been amazing in helping me deal with my feelings after my Mum’s death. He not only talked me through the emotions I was feeling, he explained that these feelings were totally normal and valid.
I have also spent time talking about other issues that have affected my life. Matt has helped me work through my emotions, dealing with bullying, control and lack of confidence.
Talking to Matt is like talking to a friend, but a friend that doesn’t mind if you talk non-stop for 50 minutes!’

‘Matt is a really easy person to talk to, he made me feel so at ease within minutes, I shared some of my deepest secrets and felt completely comfortable doing so, Matt as a practitioner is completely non-judgemental, unbiased and his gentle approach makes a person dig deep into finding the person they really are, sharing your deepest secrets and making everything in your life seem so much clearer helps you make the right decisions for your future, I felt I was in the safest environment to do so.
I had been in a toxic abusive relationship, but blamed myself for my failings, not anymore, I am a stronger person since finding myself again.
I was very sceptical about counselling, I would recommend this service to everyone, Matt helped me throughout some of the darkest days in my life and I will be forever grateful for his support,
Thank you Matt.’

‘Matt really knows what he’s doing, his friendly calm demeanour puts you at ease. During my sessions I worked on recent grief, opened up and unpacked a lot with no judgment, top listener, top bloke. Highly recommend.’
Ross
‘After losing my mum earlier in the year, I was burnt out, stressed and needed a bit of help with grief. Matt has a unique style. He listens, free of judgement, and helps you reframe things and take the pressure off. I can honestly say my mind-set switched, along with enjoying our sessions. I felt better week on week. If you're unsure, just go for it, can't recommend highly.’
Jamie
‘I've been a client of Matt twice now. I was experiencing a lot of significant change in my life and needed to work through a lot of it with someone experienced. Matt and I gelled straight away and he really helped me work through a lot of what was in my head in a structured way, without judgement. I really looked forward to our sessions and would contact Matt first if I ever needed to speak to someone’.
Kevin
‘I had a great experience with Matt – he really listened and gave careful feedback and viewpoints to my challenges. He provided some clear tactics I could use based on psychology and counselling theory. After our sessions concluded, I definitely felt I had some tools I could use to combat the challenges I was facing’.
Helene
‘Matt provided me with the space I needed to unpack my thoughts. He approached each session in a conversational manner and was able to play back situations presented with empathy and understanding.’
Paul
‘I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Matt to anyone seeking support and guidance. He's a friendly and welcoming professional, who immediately put me at ease. He balances honesty, genuine warmth, and wisdom while creating a safe and comfortable environment for open discussion.
Matt has an excellent insight, which has been invaluable in helping me gain clarity and perspective, always offering thoughtful and practical viewpoints. Additionally, his flexibility in scheduling and approach made it easy to fit sessions into my busy life, showing a genuine commitment.
He's simply a really kind bloke, who listens, and never judges’
Theo
‘I was having panic attacks and was referred to Matt. He helped me work through them, sort out some of the underlying problems, and deal with some of the health issues that came from it.
I restarted sessions with him after some other issues came up, and he helped me with more general life problems. A few weeks later things just felt a lot better.
Matt has been a great help to me: I’m positive he can be for you too’.
Jon
‘It’s always a bit daunting starting therapy, especially virtually. However, Matt quickly put any anxiety of meeting virtually at ease. He has a very approachable style and his willingness to accommodate to the platform of your preference was greatly appreciated (Microsoft Teams was best for me).
Once the sessions started, he was very accommodating to sticking to a preferred time, or if something came up moving to a more suitable time. When in the sessions you got the sense that he really remembers you as a person, not just you as his notes on a page.
I’d really recommend Matt to anyone looking for some help’
Kieran
'I spent 6 months with Matt from November - May, and I could not recommend someone better to help you! I got in contact with Matt after a referral from a friend and contacting him was the best thing I’ve done.
He not only helped me through a really tough time for me, he also allowed me to speak freely and establish answers for myself which now allows me now to guide myself through difficult situations'
‘I've been working with Matt for almost a year, and I can’t express enough how much he’s helped me during some of the toughest moments of my life. After the sudden death of a close friend, my mom’s cancer diagnosis, and navigating relationship issues, I found myself in a very dark place. Matt was instrumental in helping me process my feelings and find my way back to a better, more stable mental space.
What sets Matt apart is his ability to listen without judgment and offer genuine support. He always created a safe environment where I felt comfortable being vulnerable and honest. Even though I don’t feel I need therapy as regularly anymore, I still enjoy checking in with him to bounce my feelings and emotions off, knowing he’s always there with thoughtful insights.
If you’re looking for a therapist who truly cares and helps you work through life’s challenges with compassion and understanding, I highly recommend Matt.’
