Kevin Matthews, BACP

Kevin Matthews is a United Kingdom-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, depression, and challenges with focus and memory. He holds BACP accreditation, which denotes membership in the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Kevin works with adults facing a wide range of concerns including ADHD, relationship and attachment difficulties, separation and divorce, feelings of guilt or shame, loneliness, and midlife transitions.

Kevin approaches therapy from a collaborative, respectful stance, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and carries strengths that can be mobilised to overcome life’s difficulties. He aims to create a space where clients can explore emotions and patterns at a pace that feels manageable, while developing practical coping strategies and clearer self-understanding. Taking the first step toward change often takes courage, and Kevin offers steady support through that process, helping clients clarify goals and build resilience for more fulfilling, balanced lives.

Approaches That Guide Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and support to help people explore feelings, identify personal strengths, and make choices that align with their values. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Somatic Therapy connects emotional experience with bodily sensations and can help people who carry tension, trauma responses, or overwhelming stress in their bodies. It supports learning new ways to regulate arousal and feel more grounded during difficult moments.

Internal Family Systems offers a way to understand internal parts or subpersonalities and how they influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. This approach can be useful for managing shame, guilt, self-criticism, attachment struggles, and patterns that feel stuck.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Kevin collaborates with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach as progress unfolds. The process is joint and adaptive rather than fixed.

Online therapy provides flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, continue work while travelling within the therapist’s region, and access consistent support when in-person visits are not practical. Registered professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic change through these remote formats while tailoring pace and tools to each client’s situation.
