Kevin Matthews , BACP

Kevin Matthews is a United Kingdom-based therapist with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience supporting people through emotional challenges. He works with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, anger, depression, and concentration or focus difficulties including ADHD. Kevin approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert in their own story and that their existing strengths are central to finding more satisfying and manageable ways of living. He values the courage it takes to seek change and offers steady support as clients take those first steps toward greater wellbeing.

In sessions he aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where practical coping strategies and emotional understanding come together. He helps clients navigate relationship and attachment concerns such as abandonment, separation, and forgiveness, as well as issues like guilt, shame, loneliness, workplace stress, and midlife transitions. Kevin’s practice is informed by respectful listening and collaborative goal setting, helping people build clarity, resilience, and renewed self-regard. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Kevin Matthews

Kevin Matthews draws on client-centered work, somatic techniques, and Internal Family Systems to tailor support to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaborative goal setting, helping clients feel heard and understood while they explore personal challenges and strengths. Somatic Therapy pays attention to the body’s sensations and how stress or trauma can show up physically, offering methods to regulate emotions and restore a sense of calm in everyday life. Internal Family Systems helps people identify and understand the different parts of themselves - for example the anxious part or the self-critical part - and to develop kinder, more integrated inner relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kevin works collaboratively with clients to discover which techniques and combinations feel most helpful, adjusting the plan based on the client’s goals, preferences, and progress. He supports clients in experimenting with approaches and choosing what fits best.

Online therapy with Kevin is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in remote care.
