About Matt
He is an insured, ICO-registered therapeutic counsellor and an accredited registrant with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) - the NCPS is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Alongside his client-centred practice, he often draws on existential ideas to help people connect with meaning and purpose when facing life transitions or deeper questions about identity and direction. He also describes a pluralistic stance in practice, adapting the work to suit the individual rather than applying a single method to every situation.
Matt brings both professional training and personal experience to his work, having undertaken many years of intensive personal therapy as part of his development. He supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, LGBT matters, self-esteem, addiction, trauma and grief. He aims to help clients discover their own inner resources and practical ways forward while respecting each person as the expert on their own life.
Those seeking a therapist who meets them where they are can contact Matt to discuss fit and availability. He welcomes conversations about how he might support someone and whether his approach aligns with their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Matt Lightfoot integrates client-centred therapy and existential therapy into his online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on building an accepting, empathetic relationship where the client leads the conversation and identifies what they want to change - this approach is helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, choice and personal responsibility, supporting people facing life transitions, identity questions or a search for greater purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Matt treats that choice as a collaborative process. He works with each client to identify the methods and pacing that best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the work as understanding deepens.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit around busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier for people who live at a distance, have mobility or time constraints, or prefer the convenience of meeting from home to access support from registered professionals and therapists who can tailor their approach to individual circumstances.
