About Matthew

Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is a counsellor registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with parenting and family concerns, addiction, grief and life changes.

Matt frames clients as the experts on their own lives. He listens to what matters most and uses that as a starting point. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long explanations. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and Solution-Focused Therapy to find workable next steps.

In a typical session he will help identify small, manageable changes. Conversations may include noticing patterns, testing different ways of responding, and trying short exercises between meetings. He pays attention to communication problems, attachment issues and relationship patterns when these come up.

Matt has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, aging and geriatric concerns, and those navigating divorce, blended families or domestic violence impacts. He is also familiar with intimacy-related matters including BDSM and kink communities.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

Approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's viewpoint and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client steer the conversation toward what matters most. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, person-led way of working.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps toward the client's chosen goals and building on existing strengths.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The counsellor will work with the client to choose which method or combination to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. They review progress and adjust the plan as required rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. These factors can make it easier to attend regularly and to use therapy alongside work, family or study commitments.
