Kevin Matthews, BACP

Kevin Matthews is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, depression, and attention difficulties such as ADHD. He focuses on practical ways to manage strong feelings and everyday struggles.

Kevin treats people who find their emotions getting in the way of daily life. He talks through what happens when anger or anxiety comes up. He helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating, and explores small changes that can reduce distress. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making feelings easier to handle.

His style draws on client-centred principles. That means conversations begin with what the person brings, not a fixed plan. He also uses somatic work to notice how the body holds tension and to try simple bodily practices that can calm a state of high arousal.

Internal Family Systems is another strand he uses to map different parts of the self that argue or withdraw. This can help when shame, guilt, or abandonment worries drive reactive responses. Kevin encourages gentle curiosity about those parts rather than harsh self-judgement.

People can expect practical skills alongside reflective work. He aims to make sessions a place to try out new ways of responding to anger, workplace stress, grief, or relationship strain. To start, readers should use the site's matching steps to arrange an initial appointment.
