About Mathew
Mathew Roderick is a counsellor who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulties with eating and self-esteem. He draws on six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and offers straightforward, down-to-earth support. Mathew keeps conversations clear and direct, aiming to help people feel understood and make steady progress.
He often blends techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build realistic plans for change.
Background and approach
He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present behaviour, and solution-focused strategies to set practical short-term goals. Sessions typically involve talking through problems, testing new ways of coping, and reviewing what works. Mathew works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationship strain, trauma and grief, sleep problems, career stress and parenting pressures.
He also offers support for body image issues, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, phobias and issues related to sexual assault and abuse. His style is pragmatic and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people regain control and confidence. People can expect clear explanations of the approaches used and regular discussion of progress.
He accepts clients across the United Kingdom and international clients in English. Mathew invites potential clients to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that fit their needs.
He describes the first steps as simple and practical: pick the Start Therapy button, complete the short form and book a time to begin working on the issues that matter most.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mathew works together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. He reviews progress and adjusts the plan as therapy continues so the focus stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when writing helps process thoughts. These formats make it easier to attend regularly and try techniques between sessions.
