About
Matthew is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT therapist, with specialist expertise in supporting people with emotional dysregulation, trauma, eating disorders and addiction. He has worked in a range of settings, including rehabilitation treatment centres specialising in addiction and eating disorders, and now divides his time between Priory and private practice.
Matthew supports clients in developing skills to manage overwhelming emotions, build resilience and strengthen relationships. He believes therapy offers a meaningful space for growth, healing and self-discovery, and is committed to creating a compassionate, collaborative and non-judgemental environment where people feel safe to explore their experiences. Central to his approach is the therapeutic relationship, which he views as a powerful catalyst for change. Working with openness and authenticity, he supports clients reconnecting with their authentic self and moving towards greater self-acceptance, autonomy and wellbeing. Grounded in anti-oppressive and trauma-informed practice, Matthew tailors treatment to the unique needs of each person and works inclusively with people from diverse backgrounds. He has extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients, and draws on DBT and a range of therapeutic approaches to empower those he works with to develop healthier coping strategies to create lasting change.
