About Kevin
Kevin Matthews is a counsellor who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, depression, grief and problems with focus. He works from a respectful standpoint that the client knows their own story best. Kevin aims to build a calm, steady space where people can talk about what matters to them and find practical ways forward.
Kevin holds BACP, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has four years of professional experience supporting people with emotional overwhelm, coping after loss, anger and concentration difficulties.
Background and approach
His work also covers issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, relationship breakups and struggles with shame or guilt. In sessions he uses clear, approachable methods. He listens first and follows the person’s pace.
Sessions often include noticing how feelings show up in the body, and helping individuals understand different inner parts that affect thoughts and choices. Kevin tends to focus on small, practical steps alongside deeper exploration. That might mean learning ways to settle the body when anxiety rises, gentle experiments to test old beliefs, or strategies to organise attention and daily tasks.
He encourages self-compassion and realistic goal-setting. People who want straightforward, down-to-earth support often find his style helpful. He explains ideas simply and works with each person to shape therapy around their needs and goals.

Online support
Somatic Therapy brings attention to physical sensations and how emotions show up in the body. In remote work this can mean guided breathing, body awareness exercises and noticing tension patterns to help manage stress and anger.
Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside a person and how they interact. Through conversation and gentle experiments, people can learn to understand and unburden parts that drive shame, fear or self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kevin will work collaboratively to see what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the client's goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions or shorter live chat exchanges can fit into a work break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching the practical needs of daily life.
