About me and my therapy practice
Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.
I offer my services online.

About me and my therapy practice
My name is Matthew, I am a dedicated Person-Centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional and psychological landscapes. I offer my services both online and in-person, including a unique "walk and talk" option that combines the therapeutic benefits of nature with the core principles of counselling.
My approach is deeply rooted in empathy, compassion and a non-judgemental stance. I firmly believe that every individual deserves to be heard, validated and seen for who they truly are. In my practice, I prioritise working at your pace, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported throughout our sessions. This personalised approach allows for a more meaningful and effective therapeutic experience.
I have the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients addressing a wide array of issues. This extensive experience provides me with a sincere understanding of the unique challenges and strengths each individual possesses. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, bereavement or any other life challenges, I am here to offer a safe, nurturing space for exploration and growth.
My professional journey has enriched me with invaluable insights and skills, enabling me to connect with clients on a deeper level. I am committed to ongoing professional development which ensures that I provide the most effective and up-to-date therapeutic interventions to support you on your path to well-being.
Our therapeutic relationship will be characterised by respect, understanding and unconditional positive regard. I am here to listen without judgement, to understand without bias and to support without condition.
Together, we can explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences, allowing you to gain clarity, develop strategies for managing life's challenges and to support you in achieving a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Let's embark on this journey together, one step at a time, at your pace.
Practice description
I work as a Person-Centred Counsellor & Psychotherapist, which allows me to work through what ever life challenges you may have at your pace.
My approach is deeply rooted in empathy, compassion, and having a non-judgemental stance.
My standard session lasts 50 minutes, although I would be happy to have longer sessions or shorter sessions, should this be more beneficial for you.
I offer short or long term therapy, bi-weekly or even monthly sessions, which we can discuss what would work best for you during our first session.
I also offer a Nature Therapy Experience, on the scenic Isle of Bute - which is easily accessible by ferry from the mainland. This can be either by the hour as a "Walk & Talk" session, or a longer nature therapy excursion.
I have a fixed rate per session - although I also offer concessions based on your own financial circumstances, as I would hate money being a barrier for you gaining support.
I am flexible in how I approach therapy, as it is about supporting you and your own well-being and therefore happy to talk through any worries you may have about finances, dates, times during our first session.
Previously I worked supporting people experiencing homelessness and in financial difficulty and currently work as a suicide bereavement support practitioner. I also have experience supporting people with Dementia, Cancer and other life changing illnesses. I come with a wealth of life experience that can be of great support, as well as a caring attitude that will allow you to feel supported and safe during our sessions.
I work with all age ranges and genders.
I also offer a varied level of support either face to face, text, email or over the phone - what ever you are more comfortable with, I will be happy to accommodate.
My first session
Our first session will last 50 minutes as standard.
It will be one where we can get to know each other, as well as discussing what your expectations would be from therapy, what you would like to explore, what is going on for yourself and what works best for you.
