About Matthew
PACFA counsellor, 3 years' experience. Matthew Kahn helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He works with clients who want clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more confidence in everyday life.
Matthew starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing strengths they already have. He treats clients as the expert on their own life and uses that knowledge to plan small, practical steps. Sessions focus on concrete skills and clear goals rather than abstract theory.
For relationship concerns he helps people improve communication, address commitment or control issues, and manage the effects of family-of-origin or blended family problems. For trauma and abuse he works at a pace the client is comfortable with and pays attention to safety and boundaries.
He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness or disability, addiction-related challenges, and difficulties tied to attachment, abandonment or avoidant personality patterns. Kink and BDSM or alternative sex culture topics are included without judgement when they are relevant to the client’s goals.
Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims for practical change clients can notice between sessions. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on skills people can use in daily life. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used and what online sessions involve
Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking and practising alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another approach focuses on skills for better communication and managing relationship patterns, useful for commitment, control and blended family concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adapts the plan if a technique isn’t helping or the client wants a different direction.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. They also allow people to use quieter surroundings or turn off video when that suits them better. Discuss format options during the matching questionnaire and first session to decide what will work practically and comfortably for you.
