About Matthew

Matthew Hindle works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma and abuse, and LGBT concerns using a pluralistic methodology and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He is a member of NCPS and has 18 years' experience. Matthew uses talking therapy to help people consider their thoughts and look at practical ways to move forward.

Matthew is a 61 year old counsellor with a background in interpersonal skills and support. He offers a conversational, person-centred style that draws on more than one helpful method. Sessions focus on what the client brings to the room and which practical steps feel useful next.

In sessions he helps people put feelings into words and identify small changes they can try between meetings. He discusses coping strategies and ways to manage strong emotions so everyday tasks feel more manageable. Work may include looking at unhelpful patterns in relationships and testing alternative ways of responding.

Matthew describes his approach as pluralistic, which means he adapts methods to fit each person's concerns. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside talking, reflection and practical exercises. This flexible mix aims to suit different personalities and problems.

He offers counselling in English from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. He holds the NCPS credential as listed in his biography and brings 18 years of professional experience to sessions.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Matthew uses a pluralistic approach that brings together different evidence-based techniques chosen to meet each person's needs. This means he may combine talking, practical exercises and structured tasks to help with stress, anxiety or low mood; each element is explained and tried at a pace the client finds manageable.

He also uses core talking therapy methods that focus on recognising and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. These methods help people notice recurring reactions, test new ways of responding, and practise coping skills between sessions. Such techniques are often useful for trauma-related distress and problems with self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew discusses options with clients and together they decide which methods to try based on goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed.
