About Matthew
Counsellor (BACP), 6 years' experience. Matthew Groom helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger and work-related strain. He also works with concerns linked to LGBT issues and offers support for a wide range of relationship and attachment difficulties.
Matthew draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. He aims to create an open environment where people can talk through difficult feelings and be listened to without judgment. Sessions focus on identifying stressors, clarifying goals and practising ways of coping that fit everyday life.
His background includes work across the NHS, the charity sector and private practice. That variety has exposed him to different kinds of presenting problems and practical constraints people face when seeking help. He uses that experience to adapt pacing and focus to each person’s needs.
Matthew commonly addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dissociation and the emotional aftermath of separation. He also supports people dealing with infidelity, jealousy, guilt and shame, and those involved in BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture who want a nonjudgemental space to talk.
Sessions also cover career concerns, compassion fatigue and bipolar-related challenges. People can expect straightforward conversation, collaboratively set goals and practical steps to try between meetings. He works in English and accepts international clients, so people in different locations can enquire about next steps.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and emotional understanding. One common approach is goal-focused therapy that breaks problems into manageable steps and tests small changes between sessions; this helps with anxiety, work stress and relationship communication. Another is trauma-informed support which centres on helping people describe difficult events safely, understand how those experiences affect current reactions, and develop grounding strategies to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Matthew assesses each person’s needs, preferences and goals and adapts methods as therapy progresses. He treats this as a collaborative process and checks in regularly about what is helping and what needs adjusting.
The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For some people not having to travel helps maintain consistency, while for others shorter or differently timed sessions suit work and family routines better. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt session length and pacing to match everyday life.
