About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Redfearn offers straightforward, practical counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. He writes in a clear, calm way and focuses on helping people find steady, manageable steps forward. Matt believes clients know their own stories and brings a supportive, non-judgemental presence to each session.
He uses a mix of approaches that match what the person needs. Sessions are aimed at improving everyday coping, boosting confidence, and resolving problems that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
He also works with issues such as grief, parenting pressures, addiction, trauma and intimacy concerns. Matt has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS. He practices from the United Kingdom and offers work in English.
His background emphasises listening and helping people notice their strengths, so they can make practical changes at their own pace. In therapy he focuses on concrete actions and clearer thinking rather than long unstructured talks. People can expect to look at thoughts and behaviours, set short-term goals, and try small experiments between sessions.
The aim is to build coping skills that fit into a busy life. He is comfortable addressing sensitive topics such as family of origin issues, adoption and foster care matters, ageing concerns and aspects of alternative sexual culture. The approach is collaborative: Matt helps people identify what matters most and plan useful next steps.

Approaches Matthew lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and depression and to tackle unhelpful patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what a person wants to achieve next. Sessions set short-term, realistic goals and explore steps that worked in the past so progress can be quick and measurable.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then pick or adapt methods together. This keeps the process collaborative and tailored to the person’s needs.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want to reflect between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain regular contact with registered or accredited professionals.
