Mathew Roderick is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, eating and body-image concerns, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those dealing with addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and sleep problems.
In sessions he uses straightforward, structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, test different responses, and build practical steps for change. Sessions aim to be direct and focused on what the client wants to change.
Mathew pays attention to practical difficulties like work stress, parenting strain and money worries. He can help when compulsive or avoidant behaviours get in the way of daily life, and he addresses concerns tied to intimacy, sexual assault, and trauma where needed. He also offers support around addiction and recovery-related challenges.
He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients start by using the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Mathew describes the initial step as straightforward: answer a few questions on the platform and pick a time for an introductory meeting. That meeting focuses on goals, practical steps, and which approach feels most useful for the person seeking help.
Approach-driven online sessions using CBT and motivational interviewing
Mathew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build motivation for steps such as addressing substance use or changing eating habits.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and will adapt methods as the work progresses. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust focus together so the plan fits what the person needs.
