About Kevin

Kevin Matthews works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and depression, and supports those living with attention difficulties such as ADHD. He uses a person-centred way of working and draws on somatic techniques and Internal Family Systems to help people notice what is happening in their bodies and feelings. Kevin is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

He believes the client is the expert in their own story and focuses on listening closely. Sessions typically involve talking through current difficulties and noticing physical responses to stress. Kevin aims to help people develop clearer ways of managing intense feelings and recurring thoughts.

His approach is practical and paced to the individual. Somatic work looks at bodily signals such as tension or breath changes and links these to emotions. Internal Family Systems helps people identify different parts of themselves that hold fear, anger or shame so those parts can be understood rather than judged.

Kevin also helps with issues around attachment, abandonment, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and loneliness. He can support people dealing with midlife questions, money worries, sexual concerns and difficulties at work. Sessions are offered in English and operate from the United Kingdom.

He uses his BACP registration as a professional reference and brings together talking and body-focused methods. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's matching process.

Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, so people are advised to check cost details before booking.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Kevin works from a person-centred base, which means sessions focus on the client's concerns and personal goals through attentive listening and reflective dialogue. This way of working helps with problems such as anxiety, depression and workplace stress by keeping the conversation grounded in the person's experience.

Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily signals like breath, tension and posture and connects these to emotional states. In an online session this might mean guided breathing, noticing sensations together, or checking how the body reacts during difficult topics to develop practical regulation skills.

Internal Family Systems involves identifying different parts of a person's inner world that carry fear, anger or shame, and learning to relate to those parts with curiosity rather than criticism. Online sessions can use paced conversation and gentle reflection to map these parts and try ways of responding to them differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapt sessions if something is not helping.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and avoiding travel. As the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are conducted.
