Matthew Armitage

I currently offer sessions from:

Monday - Wednesday & Friday

9:30 - 14:30 and 19:15 - 21:15

Thursday 9:30 - 10:30 

Please do get in touch however as I can be flexible on a session by session basis. 

I am a welcoming and non-judgemental person and this is evident in all areas of my life and work. My naturally calm, accepting and caring approach offers clients a highly supportive therapeutic space.

I am part of a thriving counselling, training and supervision practice with purpose built premises to comfortably offer sessions from. 

For nearly 15 years I worked with the NHS, much of this for Leeds and York Partnership Foundation Trust - an NHS body that helps people with severe and enduring mental health conditions.

Having significant first hand experience of working in several mental health services, I developed a keen interest in mental health and a passion to help others.

Qualifying as a counsellor enabled me to begin offering therapy myself informed by this wealth of experience.

I am now part of a thriving counselling, training and supervision practice with purpose built premises to comfortably offer sessions from.

I offer a truly person centred approach to therapy, I believe that the individual is the expert in their own lives and I aim to let that inner knowledge drive the work whilst drawing on my own unique experience as a therapist. 

I am also a qualified relationship therapist. In this I bring that person centred core approach and integrate that with tools and psycho education from a   variety of sources including Imago Therapy, EFT and the Gottman Method. 

I am happy to have a conversation over the phone or online to see if we feel we can work well together. These last around 15 minutes and are not charged.
