Mathew Roderick, BACP

Mathew Roderick is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and motivation. He also works with concerns around eating and addictive behaviours. Mathew aims to make first steps into therapy easier. He creates a calm space where people can talk without feeling judged. The focus is on practical conversation and straightforward goals that matter day to day. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and change reactions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits but feel stuck. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover how past experiences affect current feelings and choices. Sessions often address relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleeping problems and career worries. He also supports people with body image concerns, obsessive thoughts, phobias and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Work around drug and alcohol addiction, HIV / AIDS and other complex issues is part of his practice. Mathew works in English and accepts international clients. He understands beginning therapy can feel daunting and offers a straightforward, compassionate approach. Prospective clients are invited to make contact to see if his style fits their needs.

How Mathew’s approaches work in online therapy

Mathew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns and behaviours that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, low mood and eating concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find the reasons they want to change and build confidence to take steps forward.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access help from the United Kingdom while living elsewhere, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible ways to meet that suit everyday routines.
