About Matthew
Matthew Carroll is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, social anxiety and phobia, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep or eating. Sessions are delivered in English and Matthew accepts international clients.
He focuses on practical, conversational work that helps people notice what is getting in the way and try different ways of coping. Matthew adapts session pace to each person and uses a mix of approaches depending on the concern. That may include exploring immediate thinking patterns and behaviours, looking at how past relationships affect present feelings, or offering a listening space where clients lead the topic.
Matthew draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client's lead and build a working relationship that supports open discussion. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test small changes in behaviour. He also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to consider how earlier experiences shape current reactions.
Sessions typically look like a talk between the client and counsellor with time set aside for reviewing progress and planning practical steps. People often bring a specific problem to start with, such as social anxiety or sleep trouble, and work through it over several meetings. The subscription-based sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.

How Matthew brings approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client's lead and creating a respectful working relationship. Online sessions using this approach give people space to set the topics and pace, which often helps when social situations feel difficult.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small changes in behaviour. In online sessions CBT can include setting simple practice tasks between meetings and reviewing what worked or did not work.
Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and patterns affect present feelings. Remotely this can mean reflecting together on recurring themes and links between past and current difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Matthew will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on busy days, or making it simpler to join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy manageable alongside daily commitments.
