About Matthew
Matthew Bennett is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He offers a calm space for honest exploration where people can increase awareness and find clarity about what feels hard. Sessions are collaborative and aim to help people reconnect with themselves and notice patterns that get in the way of feeling well.
His way of working is relational. He places the connection between counsellor and client at the centre of sessions.
Background and approach
That means he stays alongside people as they talk through their inner world, relationships, and sense of identity. Sessions can include sitting with difficult emotions and naming what is happening in day-to-day life. Matthew uses humanistic ideas to help clients explore choices and meaning in their lives.
He supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and feelings of emptiness. People who come for help often want practical conversation and a steady presence.
Matthew aims to help clients develop insight into recurring patterns and find ways to make changes that feel manageable. He works at a steady pace and adapts to what the person brings each week. If someone is looking for a straightforward, relational counsellor who speaks English and works online, Matthew offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to his availability.

Approaches Matthew lists

Online support
Existential Therapy attends to questions of meaning, responsibility, and personal freedom. It is useful when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about their life direction, and it encourages exploring values and options rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to choose how to use these approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That joint decision can change over time as the work evolves.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit around busy schedules. These formats make it easier to attend from different locations and to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy.
