J.R.

Matt really was the perfect balance of challenge, truth, compassion, empathy, and calm. I know Matt may find it challenging for me to proportion credit to his style as a key attribute to my change. He is humble but damn good at what he does. It was a life changing experience. Thank you Matt, truly.

T.H.

I feel as if I have changed massively in the few months I’ve seen Matt and I love all the things he’s taught me and will continue to use and learn more about it all! . . . I’m so unbelievably thankful and I know he is going to help so many more people like me! Thank you Matt you’ve really helped me change for the better and be nicer to myself.

C.C.

You were the exactly the person I needed at exactly the right time and I’ll be ever grateful. At the heart of it I just wanted to say thank you. It’s something I can’t express enough, none of the above will get that across as much as I’d want it to.

D.J.

My counselling sessions have really helped me understand myself and my anxiety disorder better. Thank you so much Matt for all your help over the months. I am feeling the best I have been in years.

S.U.

I can't thank you enough for your support and encouragement over the last 7-8 months. I got to hear a lot of validating things I needed to hear, most of which I've never really had the space to discuss before. Counselling has felt like gradually building up a little tool kit, or a well-stocked first aid kit - bad days still happen but I'm better equipped to deal with them. I'm really so grateful to you.

T.S.

I am pleased to say that Matt has provided me with a toolkit of ideas and practical approaches for managing and dealing with my anxiety. In response to exploring various facets of my personality, personal history, and the underlying issues I presented with, Matt has offered physical exercises and a range of ideas, and supplementary reading, emerging from psychological and spiritual practices to explore. . . through the sessions, I have gained greater self-awareness and I have seen noticeable improvements in my behaviours and attitudes towards myself. I now get regular exercise, and I have become much better at accepting who I am and learning from the mistakes I make.

M.L.

I am extremely thankful to Matt for his professionalism and honesty and for being the perfect counsellor for me when I needed it. He is very skilled in what he does, and I will be forever grateful.
