About Matthew
Matthew Pitman is a psychotherapist with ten years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. He works from the United Kingdom and uses talking to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Matthew holds BACP accreditation and draws on his clinical experience to guide conversations at a steady pace.
Matthew listens with attention and asks practical questions that help people notice patterns.
Background and approach
He aims to make sessions straightforward and free of jargon. Together with each person he explores what matters now and what might be changed one step at a time. His approach pays attention to how life events, loss and relationships shape present struggles.
He invites people to reflect on meaning, responsibility and choice within their situation. This is useful for worries about identity, purpose or big life decisions. Matthew often helps people who feel stuck by looking at how past hurts influence current reactions.
He works through issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment concerns, betrayal and guilt. He also supports those coping with dissociation, domestic violence related trauma and the strain of parenting roles like fatherhood issues. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Fees vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

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
Matthew uses talking as the main tool, helping people explore how past events and relationships shape daily responses. He supports people in naming their values and deciding on small, achievable changes. This is done collaboratively so the approach matches the person's goals and preferences rather than fitting everyone to one method.
Online therapy here is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, paced reflection or when shaping thoughts between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals will help you choose the format that fits your schedule, needs and comfort.
