I am grateful to have found Dr Matt. He is perceptive, knowledgeable, patient, understanding and above all has true empathy. With his help, I am overcoming decades of chronic trauma issues that have truly haunted me for my entire life. It can be a daunting decision to seek help but I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. A decision made much easier by choosing to work with Dr Matt. I consider myself lucky to have found him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking help, particularly those who have been through traumatic experiences that they are struggling

Nothing less than transformational! I came to Matt for help in thinking through my future direction in life, career etc. Matt helped me discover a much deeper understanding of myself, what aspects of everything that fire me and as a result Im thinking a lot clearer about my future and have a much improved relationship with my wife & family.

I have found the group ACT supervision that Matt has provided for myself and my colleagues to be a most useful adjunct to the training that I have undertaken in this model of therapy.

A lovely mixture of theory, practice and reflection and often the highlight of my week!

Over 6 sessions Matt was able to pinpoint the areas I was struggling with and also recommended some excellent books to help me further. I discovered with Matts help how to put things in perspective and how to regain my self esteem and assertiveness whilst many discussion
