    About Mathew

    Mathew Roderick is a counsellor who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other approaches to help people make changes that matter to them. He explains things simply and focuses on practical steps. Mathew makes space for honest conversation about difficult feelings and choices.

    Mathew has six years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. He supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps with eating and food-related issues, addictions, self-harm, and trauma and abuse.

    He works with problems that affect daily life, such as sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem and relationship strain. He offers help for career worries, money and financial issues, and parenting stress. He also addresses less common concerns including obsessive-compulsive behaviours, phobias, and sexuality-related trauma.

    Mathew draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. He uses Psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns from the past that affect the present. Solution-Focused methods are used to set clear, achievable goals and track progress.

    He is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and Mathew accepts international clients. He aims to make first contact straightforward and practical.

    To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Mathew encourages open discussion about goals so therapy can be shaped to each person's needs.

  2. How Motivational and Practical Approaches Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and builds momentum one step at a time. It is useful when someone feels stuck, unsure about change, or needs clear direction to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and replacing them with different actions and ways of thinking; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try different ways of working to see what fits. Sessions can shift focus over time as needs change, combining goal-setting, practical exercises and reflective conversation. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when helpful. It also makes it possible for people in different locations to work with the same therapist. Mathew aims to shape sessions so they work with each person's routine and goals, helping to translate therapeutic work into everyday life.
