About Mathew
Mathew Roderick is a counsellor who uses clear, practical therapy to help people manage anxiety and stress. He draws on a mix of talking therapies to tackle low mood, confidence issues, eating and motivation problems. Mathew works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
Mathew keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life easier. People come for help with depression, self-esteem, sleep difficulties and addictive patterns as well as relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Over six years of work has given him experience with trauma, grief, and more complex challenges such as obsessive thoughts, phobias and post-traumatic stress. He also supports people dealing with body image, money worries, HIV and men’s issues. Mathew adapts what he offers to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Sessions often combine practical exercises with time to reflect on patterns from the past. Mathew uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques alongside motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to help clients understand why they feel stuck. He also draws on solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals.
Mathew accepts clients from the UK and internationally, and works in English. He aims to make the first steps simple, guiding people through a short matching process and scheduling sessions that fit their life. If someone wants to explore whether he is a good fit, he invites them to start with the online questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Mathew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when working online. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can ease anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and can boost readiness when motivation feels low.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Mathew works with each person to discuss goals, past experiences and preferences, then adjusts the mix of methods to suit their needs. He checks in regularly to see what is working and what to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
