About Mathew

Mathew Roderick is a counsellor who uses straightforward, practical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He works with clients who struggle with eating and motivation as well as relationship, career and parenting pressures. Mathew communicates in clear, direct language so people know what to expect from sessions.

With six years of experience in the United Kingdom, Mathew combines several therapy styles to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress. Motivational Interviewing helps when people want support to change behaviours such as substance use or eating habits. Mathew aims to create an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be discussed without harsh judgement.

He aims to listen first, then work together on small, manageable steps. That practical focus often includes building new routines for sleep, coping with grief, or managing anxiety in day-to-day life. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse, using approaches suited to the individual.

Other areas he addresses include addictions, body image, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients. Mathew works via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mathew blends therapy approaches for online work

Mathew often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for panic, anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and unhelpful routines.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want help making changes. This approach focuses on a person's own goals and confidence, helping with addictions, eating-related changes and other behaviour shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Mathew talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. He adapts as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and collaborative.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can suit someone who needs lower bandwidth or simpler logistics. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking.

These online formats make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments and to access help from different locations. Registered professionals can offer consistent, structured care without needing an in-person appointment.
