About Matthew
Matthew Pitman is a psychotherapist with ten years of clinical experience. He supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self‑esteem and major life changes. He works from a straightforward, conversational style and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Matthew encourages clear, honest talk about what is happening now and how it affects day to day life. He helps people name the feelings that feel heavy or confusing and looks at small, practical steps that might make things feel steadier.
Background and approach
Sessions are unhurried and direct, with space for difficult emotions and for practical problem solving. He also pays attention to the patterns that repeat over time, such as abandonment fears, codependency, or difficulty with commitment and communication. These patterns can make even simple decisions feel hard, and he helps people see how they developed and what could change.
Matthew will calmly address issues such as dissociation, control problems, guilt and shame, or isolation when they come up. People who bring experiences of domestic violence, childhood abuse or who are navigating fatherhood issues can expect a non-judgemental, steady presence in sessions. He also supports those dealing with infidelity, forgiveness, or questions about life purpose and men’s issues.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Matthew is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and works with people in the United Kingdom.
How existential therapy and online sessions work together
Existential Therapy looks at big life questions such as meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, lost or overwhelmed to name what matters and find ways to live that reflect their values and aims. This approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, questions about life purpose and for people feeling isolated.In sessions Matthew uses a plainspoken, reflective way of working. He will help the client explore what matters to them and what changes they want. Together they decide which ideas and techniques to try, making the work a collaborative process rather than a set plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls let conversations feel close to face to face. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps someone focus. Live chat and text messaging can suit brief check‑ins, short sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking.
Using these formats makes it simpler to fit therapy into work, family or daily life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace, the length of check‑ins and the mix of formats to suit each person’s needs and goals.
