About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults on common early-adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem and depression. He also helps people facing relationship and family challenges and other life changes.
Matt treats people as the experts in their own lives. He looks for practical strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to move forward. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change or improve.
His background includes working directly with issues around grief, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related problems. He also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and related neurodiversity, and a range of family-of-origin and relationship difficulties.
Matt draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions grounded and goal-oriented. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques when thinking patterns and behaviours are a clear barrier to progress. These approaches are used to help with everyday pressures and pressing life transitions.
People who choose him often want straightforward, practical conversations about how to manage stress, improve relationships and build confidence. He works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the session formats currently offered so they match your needs.
How his methods translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective and experience. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients identify their own solutions. This suits people who want conversational support for stress, relationships and self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. When used online, it often involves setting small practical tasks, trying new behaviours between sessions and checking progress together. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small changes that lead toward a preferred future. In an online setting it tends to be goal-directed and time-aware, useful for people who want clear steps and fast practical gains.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm which session formats are currently available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or moving schedules because they remove travel and can allow shorter or more regular check-ins. They can also suit quieter conversations, or meetings when being on camera is not practical.
