About Mathew
BACP counsellor Mathew Roderick has six years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, eating and food-related problems, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports concerns around motivation, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Mathew uses straightforward talking therapies to help people manage everyday difficulties. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change and Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals.
People often come for help with specific problems such as sleep issues, grief, or career stress. He also works with matters linked to body image, control issues, phobias and obsessive-compulsive patterns. His background includes supporting those affected by sexual assault, post-traumatic stress and drug or alcohol addiction.
Sessions involve clear, practical discussion and collaborative planning. Mathew aims to make sessions direct and task-oriented when that suits the person, and more reflective when needed. He encourages clients to identify small, achievable steps between meetings.
Work is offered in English and Mathew accepts clients in the UK as well as international clients. Fees vary with location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Mathew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to change how someone feels; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and obsessive patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people clarify what they want to change and build small steps toward that change; it is useful for addictions, motivation and readiness to act.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Mathew will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods as needs become clearer. The emphasis is on finding practical steps that fit the person's life and reviewing progress together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact options before booking. Remote work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, sessions without video when that is preferable, or scheduling across different time zones for international clients.
