Matthew Daniels

I have flexible availability and can collaborate with you to decide a suitable time for future sessions. 

I’m a humanistic integrative therapist with an advanced diploma in counselling and psychotherapy, accredited by Â鶹ԭ´´. My work is grounded in a deep respect for each person’s unique story, and I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.

I have specific training in:

- Psychodynamics

- Person Centred

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

- Long term therapy

- Time-limited counselling

- Neuroscience, Attachment and Therapeutic Alliance

- Psychiatry, Psychopathology and Psychodynamics

- Working with children and young people, including work experience at primary schools

My integrative approach draws from psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This means I tailor sessions to your needs.

Psychodynamic work helps us explore the roots of your struggles, including patterns formed in early relationships.

Person-centred therapy emphasises empathy and acceptance, supporting you in finding your own answers.

CBT offers practical strategies for understanding and shifting unhelpful thought patterns.

Together, these approaches create a flexible and holistic way of working, helping you to gain insight, develop coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self.

I work with adults and children on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and supported on your journey toward greater well-being.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, so our first session is all about helping you feel comfortable and getting to know what you’d like to focus on. We’ll spend time talking about what brings you to therapy, any goals or hopes you have, and what you’d like to get out of our work together.

I’ll explain how I work, answer any questions, and go over practical details like confidentiality and session structure. This is also your chance to see how therapy feels with me - there’s no pressure to share everything at once, and you’re welcome to go at your own pace.

Think of this first session as a gentle introduction: a space to explore whether this feels like the right fit for you and to start building a sense of safety and trust.
