About Mathew
Mathew Roderick is a counsellor who uses practical talking approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and eating concerns. He has six years of clinical experience and works to make first steps into therapy straightforward and manageable. He focuses on clear, problem-focused work that helps people build confidence and motivation.
Sessions cover issues such as low self-esteem, sleep problems, addictions, relationship difficulties and parenting strain. He also supports people facing grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Mathew draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. He draws on Motivational Interviewing to boost a person’s drive for change, and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from past experience.
His style is straightforward and non-judgemental. He aims to make sessions a space where difficult feelings can be named and practical steps can be tried. The focus is on what will help now and what skills can be kept for later.
People usually begin by describing their immediate concerns and goals. From there he works collaboratively to set simple targets and check progress. Those who want to start can use the site’s matching process to arrange a first appointment.

How Mathew works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. Plans are reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant and manageable.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions slot into lunch breaks or evenings more easily. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as in person, while adapting examples and exercises to suit a remote setting.
