Matthew Bridge

Current availability for evenings and weekends. 

Hi, I’m Matt, a BACP-registered counsellor with over 700 hours of experience supporting clients just like you. My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to ensure our sessions suit your individual needs.

I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, offering a warm and understanding space where you can feel heard and supported. Life’s struggles can feel overwhelming at times, but together we can explore what’s going on for you and work towards making the changes you’d like to see in your life.

I offer flexible online and telephone sessions, making it easier to fit counselling into your busy life. If you’re ready to take that first step towards feeling better, I’m here to help.

Hi there,

I’m Matt, a BACP-registered counsellor, and I’m here to support you in navigating life’s challenges. I know reaching out for help can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to face things alone; I’m here to help you feel heard, valued, and understood.

Why work with me?

• With over 700 hours of counselling experience, I’ve worked in diverse settings, from GP practices to the UK’s leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provider. This has given me a deep understanding of the challenges people face and how best to support them.
• I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation so we can get to know each other and see if I’m the right counsellor for you.
• Whether you’re juggling work, family, or a busy lifestyle, my online and telephone sessions make it easy to fit counselling into your schedule, with appointments available outside standard working hours.
• My approach blends Person-Centred Therapy, Humanistic principles, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that works for you.
• I believe therapy should be available to everyone. Ask about my special packages and promotions to support your journey.

What’s it like working with me?

Our sessions will feel like a conversation in a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind. My goal is to help you feel empowered, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

I specialise in helping people with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, but no matter what you’re going through, I’ll meet you with understanding, kindness, and respect. As a BACP Registered Member, I follow the highest ethical standards, ensuring you feel accepted and supported at all times.

If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to create positive, lasting change in your life.

Warm wishes,

Matt

I understand that starting therapy is a big step, and finding the right therapist is important. That’s why I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone consultation. This is a chance for us to talk about your needs, goals, and what you’re hoping to achieve from therapy.

During this call, you can ask any questions, share a little about what’s brought you to therapy, and get a feel for how I work, without any financial commitment.

If you feel comfortable and ready to move forward, we can discuss the next steps and arrange further sessions that suit your schedule.
