About Kevin
Kevin Matthews is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression and attention difficulties including ADHD. Kevin also supports those facing social anxiety and phobia and problems at work that affect daily life.
He works in a straightforward way that treats the client as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how feelings show up in the body. He uses talking, noticing bodily responses, and mapping internal parts to help people make sense of repeated patterns.
Kevin draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful conversation that follows the person’s concerns. He also uses Somatic Therapy to pay attention to physical sensations linked to stress and anxiety. Internal Family Systems helps identify different inner parts that hold emotions like shame or anger and to build a different relationship with them.
In sessions he aims to break issues down into manageable steps. People can expect clear explanations of techniques and time to practise them between meetings. He explains what to try and checks how things worked in day-to-day life.
Kevin offers straightforward guidance for people who find social situations hard, such as meeting new people or speaking in groups. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How Kevin uses therapeutic approaches online
Kevin draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. That approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s concerns while offering reflections and practical ideas that fit the person’s goals.He also uses Somatic Therapy to notice how stress and anxiety show up in the body. Online sessions can include guided attention to breathing, posture and simple body-based exercises that help someone understand physical reactions to social situations.
Internal Family Systems helps name different inner parts that hold feelings like shame, anger or fear. Together the client and counsellor map those parts and practice ways to relate to them differently, which can reduce repeated patterns in social interactions.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Kevin treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. He checks in and adapts work as progress and feedback indicate what is most helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practise material in their real routines and report back on how exercises worked between meetings.
