About Stephen Matthews
He works with a range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. He also volunteers as a counsellor at a bereavement service and has supported people with ADHD and autism, helping some feel heard for the first time.
Stephen aims to create an open, non-judgemental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely. He approaches the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process, supporting and empowering clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
His main modality is person-centred therapy, which places the client at the centre of sessions and focuses on understanding the client’s experience. He also integrates elements from other approaches when helpful, using practical strategies and tools to address current difficulties and to build greater autonomy so clients can manage daily life more productively, with the option to pause and return to therapy as needed.
