About Matthew

Matthew Bennett is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He creates a calm space for honest exploration where clients can increase self-awareness and find clarity. Sessions focus on reconnecting with personal values and noticing unhelpful patterns in everyday life.

Matthew describes therapy as a collaborative process. He uses a relational style and places the therapeutic connection at the heart of the work.

Background and approach

That means he sits alongside clients as they look at emotions, relationships and self-image rather than directing from afar. Practical topics often include stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps people talk through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

Short-term goals and gradual changes are common outcomes of their conversations. Matthew works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and commitment worries. He also supports people facing first responder or veteran-related pressures, immigration challenges, loneliness and questions about life purpose.

Sessions aim to build insight into recurring patterns and encourage steps that feel manageable. Matthew welcomes straightforward conversation and is comfortable sitting with difficult emotions while looking for ways forward.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own solutions. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and support clients as they make changes at their own pace. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties with relationships.

Existential Therapy looks at life questions such as purpose, freedom and responsibility. It helps people face uncertainty, make meaningful choices and cope with feelings of emptiness or isolation. This approach can be helpful when someone is wrestling with big life decisions or questions about meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist works collaboratively to identify what fits. Together they will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adjust the way they work as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and connection.
