About Mathew
Mathew Roderick is a counsellor who uses practical talking therapies to help people manage stress, low mood and worries about themselves. He works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and difficulties around eating and motivation. Mathew also supports people facing addictions, trauma, grief and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Mathew draws on a mix of short-term and exploratory approaches. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change, and Psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that repeat over time.
Sessions are intended to be straightforward and conversational. Mathew aims to build a calm space where people can say what they are thinking and try new ways of coping. He usually works with practical goals such as improving sleep, reducing worry, or gaining confidence in relationships.
With six years of experience in the United Kingdom, Mathew has helped clients with a wide range of concerns from phobias and OCD symptoms to addiction and body-image worries. He accepts international clients and works in English. If someone is unsure whether therapy is right, Mathew encourages a short initial conversation to see if there is a good fit.

How Mathew uses therapy approaches online
Mathew commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when working with clients. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns and behaviours that keep problems like anxiety and low mood going, and can help with sleep, phobias, OCD symptoms and body-image concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build momentum, which is useful for addictions, eating issues and motivation to try new habits.Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Mathew aims to decide together with each person which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the plan as the sessions progress in a collaborative way.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and making it easier to maintain regular appointments.
