Approach to Therapy
Therapy should never feel one-size-fits-all.
Matt blends proven therapeutic techniques with a relationship-first mindset, ensuring each session is tailored to the client’s needs. Depending on the situation, this may include CBT, strengths-based approaches, life and career guidance, or supportive, person-centered counselling.
This flexible style allows therapy to honour who clients are, what they’ve experienced, and where they hope to go.
Sessions provide a calm, steady environment for exploring difficult feelings, understanding personal stories, and building practical skills for everyday life and long-term growth — available both in person and online with the support of a compassionate male therapist.
