Kevin Matthews

Kevin Matthews is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger and depression. He also supports people struggling with focus and attention issues often described as ADHD. He presents a calm, encouraging presence and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone looking for change.

He works from the idea that the client knows their own story best. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and building on existing strengths so practical steps can follow. Kevin keeps language simple and direct so people understand what happens in sessions.

Kevin uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the client’s perspective at the heart of the work. He also draws on Somatic Therapy to help people notice and work with bodily responses to stress, and Internal Family Systems to look at the different parts of a person’s inner experience. These approaches are used to help with emotional regulation, complex feelings, and recurring patterns.

With four years of experience, Kevin blends gentle curiosity with practical suggestions. He aims to support people through difficult life changes such as separation and the grief that can follow. Sessions move at a client’s pace and focus on what matters most to them.

Kevin holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his professional credential. He works in English and does not take international clients at this time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and building on your strengths. Online sessions with this approach mean the counsellor listens closely and helps you choose what to work on next to feel less stuck.

Somatic Therapy helps people notice how emotions show up in the body and use that awareness to reduce tension. In an online setting this can mean guided body-awareness exercises and simple grounding techniques you can practise between sessions.

Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts of a person’s inner life and how they interact. Online sessions can guide you through gentle mapping of those parts and develop kinder ways to relate to difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to focus on. This is a collaborative process and can change as you progress.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow continued contact when attending in-person meetings would be difficult. These practical benefits often help people keep a steady therapy routine while working on their goals.
