About Mathew
Mathew Roderick is a counsellor who uses a blend of practical approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress and related issues. He brings six years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Mathew aims to make the first step into therapy easier for people who feel uncertain or nervous about starting.
He focuses on everyday concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems and self-esteem. He also supports people facing difficulties with eating and food-related issues, addictions, grief and trauma.
Background and approach
Phobias and social anxiety are included among his areas of work. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Mathew uses methods that help people understand their thoughts and build new strategies for coping.
He also draws on conversational styles that explore past patterns to make sense of current difficulties. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where they can talk about what matters to them. Mathew aims to set clear, realistic steps and checks progress over time.
He keeps language simple and practical so ideas can be used between sessions. Mathew offers sessions in English and works with people across different locations in the UK and internationally. He invites prospective clients to use the site process to begin - complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Mathew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, phobias and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for goals like reducing substance use or improving eating habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mathew will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods collaboratively. He adapts tools and tasks so they fit the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can be a good short check-in or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or need flexible check-ins between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
