Matthew Groom

Matthew Groom is a counsellor who helps people facing separation and its aftermath. He works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction and issues such as abandonment, attachment and infidelity.

He brings six years of UK-based experience across the NHS, the charity sector and private practice. That background means he has worked with a range of difficulties and with clients from the LGBTQ+ community, though he is not exclusively focused on any one group. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about painful feelings.

In sessions he listens closely and encourages clear, honest conversation about what matters to the client. Practical ideas and small steps are offered when they fit the person’s goals. Work often covers communication patterns, anger and control issues, and ways to rebuild trust after betrayal.

He also addresses topics such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture alongside concerns about codependency and intimacy. Matthew pays attention to how past attachment and dissociation can affect present relationships, and he helps people find steadier ways of relating.

People who choose him can expect straightforward, calm support as they make decisions and process loss. Before booking, readers should check current session options and schedule details to match their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with emotions, relationships and reactions rooted in past hurt. One approach focuses on careful listening and exploring how attachment and past relationships shape present feelings; this helps when patterns of abandonment, codependency or dissociation affect daily life. Another commonly used approach emphasises practical steps and behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings, which can help with stress, bipolar symptoms and addictive patterns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process, and Matthew treats that as a collaborative effort. He will discuss options with each person, check what feels helpful, and adapt his approach as goals and needs become clearer over time.

Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether that means shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time after work. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm what is offered before booking. The practical benefits most clients report include greater convenience, easier scheduling across time zones for international clients, and the ability to maintain continuity of care during life changes.
