About Matthew

Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is an NCPS-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He sees adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people facing relationship strains, parenting pressures and life changes.

Matt works from the view that clients know their story best. He listens for strengths and practical options. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings, and on what helps reduce reactivity and ongoing frustration.

Matt uses methods drawn from client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work. That means conversations that start with what matters now, look at unhelpful thought patterns, and identify small experiments to test different ways of responding. He keeps language straightforward and concrete so people can try things in daily life.

Common topics he addresses include managing workplace irritation, dealing with simmering resentment at home, setting boundaries, and rebuilding motivation after a setback. He also supports people with grief, addiction concerns and intimacy-related challenges.

People who want a practical, discussion-based approach often choose to work with him. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

Approach and what online sessions involve

Matt draws on client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. Client-centred practice means the conversation begins with what matters most to the person and follows their priorities. Cognitive behavioural methods look at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and help test different ways of responding. Solution-focused work looks for small, practical changes and experiments that can shift daily reactions and reduce anger and stress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Matt discusses options with each person and adjusts techniques based on their goals and what feels useful. He aims to agree on practical steps and review progress together rather than impose a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. If you want to work on handling workplace irritation, family tension or managing strong feelings, online appointments can be arranged to fit into everyday routines while focusing on actionable tools and thought exercises.
