About Matthew
Matthew Carroll is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety and other everyday difficulties. He presents himself as calm and respectful, and aims to work at each person's pace. He will adapt sessions to what comes up and focus on practical next steps that suit the individual.
He draws on several approaches to tailor care. Client-Centred Therapy guides sessions around the person's own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot patterns in thinking and try new behaviours.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas may be offered to look at longer-standing patterns that affect current life. Matthew has six years' experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and depression.
He also focuses on isolation and loneliness, men's issues, social anxiety and young adult concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Matthew accepts international clients while working from the United Kingdom. He describes himself as sensitive and compassionate and aims to tailor each session to the person's needs.
Starting counselling can feel hard, and he supports people through that first step and beyond. Practical details are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. The therapist uses a matching questionnaire to begin, then schedules sessions according to availability and the client's needs.
How Matthew’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and what they want to work on; the counsellor listens closely and shapes sessions around those priorities, which can help with anxiety, loneliness and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Online sessions can use CBT to practise new ways of thinking and small behavioural experiments between meetings, useful for social anxiety, sleep problems and anger issues.
Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover repeating patterns from the past that affect current relationships and self-esteem. In online work this can be explored through regular conversations that reflect on feelings and past experiences.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that match a person's goals and preferences. This is done collaboratively so the plan can change if something does not fit.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people speak face to face when convenient. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier, all of which help therapy fit into a busy life.
