About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem and depression. He also takes on relationship and family concerns and helps with practical issues around confidence and life changes.
Matt works from the idea that each person knows their story best. He begins by listening and mapping what is already working. That helps identify small, manageable steps to try between sessions.
His sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits that get in the way, then testing alternative responses. He uses straightforward techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to build different behaviours. He also draws on client-centred methods to keep conversations directed by the person in the room, and solution-focused ideas to set short-term, achievable goals.
Typical topics include coping with grief, managing anger, dealing with addictions, and practical parenting concerns. Matt also supports people handling adoption or foster care issues, attachment and ageing matters, and neurodiversity-related worries such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
People who choose him can expect clear, task-oriented sessions and simple homework to practise new skills. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
CBT and practical approaches for online work
Matthew combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centred and solution-focused methods. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes to see what helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-centred work keeps the conversation directed by the person, focusing on what matters most right now. Solution-focused techniques aim for concrete short-term goals and steps that can be practised between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, based on goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats he currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or using audio-only calls when video is difficult. These practical options help people keep therapy consistent with work and family routines.
