About Matthew

Matthew Groom is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with over six years of professional experience. He supports people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression, past trauma, anger and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be accepted.

Matthew has worked across the NHS, the charity sector and private practice. He often works with people from the LGBT community, though not exclusively. He helps clients who feel overwhelmed by work strain, grief, low self-esteem, relationship breakdown or recurring frustration that shows up as anger.

In sessions he focuses on creating straightforward space for people to be heard and to name what is happening for them. Conversations are direct and practical. Matthew encourages clients to notice patterns in feelings and behaviour so they can make small, steady changes.

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to match the approach to what each person needs. That can mean looking at how past attachment or abandonment issues shape reactions now, or working on communication and control issues that feed resentment and conflict.

Matthew also addresses areas such as codependency, infidelity, guilt and shame, dissociation, and alternative sex culture topics like BDSM and kink. He works with people on career stress, addiction concerns, bipolar related difficulties and compassion fatigue when these are part of the picture.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together

Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anger and related problems. One common approach addresses attachment and abandonment patterns by looking at past relationships and how they shape current reactions; this can help with jealousy, control issues and fears of rejection. Another approach focuses on communication and behavioural patterns, teaching practical ways to express frustration, set boundaries and reduce repeated conflict.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Matthew will work with the client to identify which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as work progresses.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in during a work break or to avoid travel time. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, registered or accredited professionals use online meetings to keep momentum between sessions and to make therapy more accessible when people are managing work, caregiving or travel commitments.
