About Matthew
Counsellor Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He talks with people about stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, motivation, self-esteem, confidence and depression. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people make sense of what they are facing.
Matt works from a person-centred stance that treats the client as the expert in their own life. He listens for what matters most and helps clients notice strengths they already have. He may also introduce practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
When quick changes are needed, he uses solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals and small steps toward them. That approach is useful for practical problems and for people who want brief, goal-orientated work. Matt combines these methods to suit the issue and the pace the client wants.
He has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting and addiction, and with issues tied to attachment, adoption and ageing. He also has experience with topics such as intimacy, kink and communication problems. People who contact him usually want straightforward conversations and clear next steps.
Sessions are held in English and he accepts international clients. Prospective clients are encouraged to check the current session options and booking steps before arranging a first appointment.
Approaches used for online counselling
Matt works from a client-centred perspective. That means the conversation starts with what matters to the client and builds on their own strengths and choices. This approach suits people who want space to reflect and to be listened to without a fixed agenda.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT offers straightforward techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Solution-focused therapy is another option he draws on; it concentrates on clear goals and small practical steps for change and can be useful for short-term, goal-orientated work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matt will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and suggest which methods might fit best. That choice is made together rather than imposed.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of online counselling are that it can fit around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats need less bandwidth or do not require a camera, which can help on busy days.
