Hello, I’m Matt and welcome to my profile. We all need help sometimes and reaching out is often the hardest step and yet “looking” for a counsellor can feel just as hard. There are countless reasons why people begin their counselling journey: perhaps you’ve been advised to, or you may have a specific issue or issues that you feel need addressing. Oftentimes it is the circumstances we find ourselves in that may be causing us issues or maybe, or maybe, life is just a little bit too hard at the moment.
I didn’t set out to be a counsellor but having worked in education for almost twenty years, I have dealt with issues such as: depression (as well as living alongside it), anxiety, marriage break-ups, bereavement and grief, as well as burnout and stress, from a range of ages and varying SEND needs from children as well as from parents.
I fully understand the long lasting effects that these issues can have and I always approach them with respect, empathy and understanding whilst building a relationship that is built on trust. So if you’re still reading and you feel like I may be able to help, then please do get in touch and I look forward to beginning your journey with you.
