About Matthew
Matthew Bennett is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He offers a calm, honest space for people to talk through what is troubling them. Sessions aim to increase awareness, bring clarity and help people reconnect with themselves.
He approaches therapy as a shared process. He works alongside clients to explore patterns, difficult emotions and the relationships that shape everyday life. The relationship between counsellor and client is central to his way of working.
Background and approach
Matthew commonly helps people coping with stress and anxiety. He also supports those dealing with relationship worries, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression. He pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and codependency can affect how people relate to others.
Practical matters such as communication problems, jealousy, commitment concerns and feelings of emptiness are part of the conversation. He has additional focus on men’s issues, first responder concerns, and matters linked to veterans and armed forces experiences. Immigration-related stress and isolation or loneliness are also within his areas of focus.
Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client’s experience. Matthew aims to help people discover what matters to them and to find manageable ways of moving forward. He tailors each session to the person in front of him and the goals they bring.

Approaches Matthew lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Matthew will explore goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and he will adapt the way he works in conversation with each client. That means decisions about style and pace are shared and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want support between calls. These options let people fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping continuity of care with a single counsellor.
