About Matthew

Matthew Carroll works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping. He uses a combination of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to help people talk through what is happening and find practical ways forward. Matthew is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has six years' experience.

He aims to move at each person's pace and to treat people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions focus on what the client brings, with time spent listening, reflecting and trying out different ways of managing thoughts and feelings. Practical strategies may be used alongside conversations about past experiences that still affect current life.

Matthew commonly works with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, social anxiety and isolation. He also offers support for men's issues and for young adults facing life transitions. He helps people who are dealing with depression, coping with change, or recovering from loss.

His approach draws on client-centred counselling, which puts the person's perspective at the centre of sessions, and on cognitive behavioural ideas that look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Psychodynamic elements help uncover patterns that repeat over time and affect relationships.

Sessions are delivered in English and Matthew accepts international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to use the Talk to a counsellor online button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience in the room and involves listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them; it is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem and deciding on goals.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and often includes practical exercises and strategies to manage anxiety, sleeping problems or unhelpful behaviours.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that have developed over time and how past experiences influence current relationships and reactions; it can be helpful when problems repeat or feel rooted in earlier events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Matthew will discuss different ways of working and help decide what fits best with a person's needs, goals and preferences. The choice of approach can change as the work progresses and will be agreed collaboratively.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or care commitments, reduce travel, and allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats and will explain practical arrangements when you schedule the first appointment.
