About Matthew
Matthew Goldreich is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can reflect on how they relate to themselves and others. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.
He uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at how present feelings and behaviours are shaped by past relationships and experiences. That means talking about memories, patterns and recurring feelings to understand why some reactions keep happening.
Background and approach
Matthew aims to help people gain self-knowledge so they can reduce inner conflict and make different choices. Sessions are a place to speak freely without censoring yourself. Matthew listens for thoughts, feelings and images that come up and uses gentle direction to keep the work focused and accountable.
He balances listening with guidance so people feel supported while exploring difficult material. Matthew trained at the University of Exeter and holds an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck College, University of London. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is completing further Clinical Doctoral training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
People come to him for a wide range of issues including trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, grief and problems with intimacy and communication. He also offers approaches that include attachment-based ideas and mindfulness alongside psychodynamic work. This mix helps people understand patterns and try new ways of relating.

Online support
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Matthew will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you can decide which methods to emphasise. The aim is to find a practical way of working that feels useful and manageable rather than a rigid prescription.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you meet. Video calls let you see cues and hold a conversation much like face-to-face work. Phone sessions are useful when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing check-ins, or who need support that fits around work or family life. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to tailor sessions to practical needs.
