Matthew Goldreich, BACP

Matthew Goldreich offers a calm, non-judgemental space where individuals can reflect on how they relate to themselves and others and explore ways to change unhelpful patterns. He supports clients in developing insight into how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviours, and he works collaboratively at a pace that suits each person.

Matthew uses a psychodynamic framework that focuses on the links between past and present experience. By attending closely to emerging thoughts, feelings and images during sessions, he helps clients notice recurring patterns and consider new ways of responding. Sessions are structured to allow open, uncensored conversation while Matthew provides gentle guidance to help clients stay accountable and feel supported through the therapeutic work.

Therapy with Matthew can be directed toward resolving a specific difficulty or toward cultivating broader self-awareness and acceptance. He aims to create space for new choices and states of mind to develop as clients gain self-knowledge and reduce inner conflict.

Matthew is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and completed MSc-level clinical training at the University of Exeter. He is currently undertaking Clinical Doctoral training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the University of Exeter and also holds an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck College, University of London. Matthew provides therapy in English and brings a measured, thoughtful approach to work with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and self-esteem.
