About Matthew

Matthew Carroll is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Matthew takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. He listens first, then helps people decide what to work on next. He draws on client-centred methods to prioritise the person’s experience, and uses cognitive behavioural ideas when practical tools are helpful. He also brings psychodynamic perspectives to understand longer-standing patterns that keep problems repeating.

In early sessions Matthew aims to get a clear sense of how anger shows up day to day. He will look at triggers, reactions and the small changes that reduce snapping or built-up resentment. He blends short-term practical strategies with conversations about past events that shape current responses.

Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on useful change rather than labels. Matthew supports people who prefer direct skills practice as well as those who want to reflect on emotional patterns. He suggests steps clients can try between sessions and reviews what works in later meetings.

People choose him when they want calm, practical help with temper, workplace frustration, relationship irritation or managing someone else’s anger at home. To start, clients follow the site process to match and book an initial session.

How sessions work

How Matthew uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy here means the therapist focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Sessions start by listening to what matters most and building plans from that. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It can be useful for anger that shows up as quick reactions or workplace frustration. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at longer-running patterns and past events that influence current responses; this helps when anger keeps returning despite short-term efforts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matthew will discuss options with clients and decide together what to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps set clear, realistic aims for reducing reactivity and improving relationships.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a weekday break, arranging shorter check-ins when schedules are busy, or choosing a format that needs less bandwidth. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain regular meetings and to practise the skills discussed between appointments.
