About Matthew
At the heart of Matthew’s work is the belief that our emotions shape how we understand ourselves and connect with others. Many people come to therapy seeking change and discover that meaningful growth begins with feeling understood, accepted, and emotionally safe.
Matthew primarily works from an Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) approach, helping clients explore emotional patterns, unmet needs, and attachment experiences that influence self-esteem and relationships. Through this process, clients learn to relate to themselves with greater compassion and to engage more authentically with others.
He also integrates Cognitive Behavioural and attachment-based strategies to support practical coping and lasting change. Matthew specializes in working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and periods of life transition.
With a background in hospital-based psychosocial oncology, Matthew brings a deep understanding of resilience, identity, and the emotional impact of uncertainty. His style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative, offering a space where clients feel both supported and gently challenged in their growth.
