About Mathew

Mathew Roderick is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He focuses on practical help for common problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and motivation. He also supports people dealing with eating and food-related concerns, addiction and issues around intimacy and relationships.

Mathew aims to make the first step feel manageable. He works alongside clients to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, so conversations lead to clear next steps rather than staying stuck in repetition.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic ideas and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix means he can help with practical coping skills, explore recurring patterns, and work on short-term goals depending on what someone needs. He adapts the focus to match each person's situation.

Mathew has supported people with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems and career pressures. He also works with issues such as body image, obsessive behaviours, phobias and drug and alcohol addiction. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about steps that might help.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the booking process.

How Mathew’s approaches translate to online therapy

Mathew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside psychodynamic ideas. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, depression and sleeping problems. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change, which can be useful for addictions, motivation and lifestyle shifts. Psychodynamic ideas help identify repeated life patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mathew works collaboratively to decide which mix of methods suits each person’s goals and preferences. He will talk through options and adjust the focus as therapy progresses so the plan fits real-life needs.

Confirm the session formats available when you book, as current options are listed during sign-up. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and give a simpler way to check in during a lunch break or between commitments. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when that helps them engage more comfortably.
