About Matthew Groom

Matthew Groom is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings over six years of professional experience across the NHS, the charity sector, and private practice. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and applies this training to a broad range of emotional and relational concerns.

He has experience supporting people in the LGBTQ+ community while remaining open to working with clients from all backgrounds. His areas of focus include anxiety, relationship issues, depression, separation and grief, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, work-related stress, past trauma, anger issues, and family conflicts. He aims to work collaboratively with each person to address the specific challenges they bring.

Matthew cultivates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced openly. He recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy requires courage and believes that being heard by a practitioner who listens carefully can be an important part of recovery and long-term change. Allowing a therapist to witness and support pain and grief may help clients feel more valued and alive, and can contribute to meaningful, lasting shifts in how they live.
