About Matthew
Matthew Goldreich is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship worries, low self-esteem, depression and phobias. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what is worrying them. Sessions move at a pace that feels right for the individual and focus on making sense of patterns in everyday life.
He uses a psychodynamic approach and pays attention to how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
That perspective helps clients notice repeated patterns and understand why they respond the way they do. Matthew offers gentle guidance to keep people on track while they reflect on those patterns. Sessions are set up so people can speak freely without self-censoring.
Matthew listens for themes in thoughts, feelings and images that come up, and those themes become starting points for change. The work can target a specific problem or simply build greater self-awareness over time. Matthew holds an MSc in clinical training from the University of Exeter and an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck College, University of London.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. He has three years of professional experience and is currently progressing through further clinical doctoral training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the University of Exeter. People who prefer online contact can work with him via the formats listed on this site.
How these approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to current patterns in relationships and emotional bonds. Online sessions can help people notice how they connect with others and practise different ways of relating through conversation and reflection. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and mind. Doing mindfulness by video or phone can help with anxiety, sleep and managing impulses when daily life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and any practical limits, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include drawing on attachment ideas, mindful practice or psychodynamic reflection according to what helps most.
Online formats offer flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quicker check-ins and text messaging for brief ongoing support. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to keep momentum between sessions.
