About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and depression. He also helps people facing parenting challenges, grief, addiction and anger.
Matt believes people know their stories best and that their strengths help them move forward. He takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. He encourages clients to name practical goals and to try small changes between meetings.
In practice he blends client-centred conversations with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. That can mean looking at thought patterns that fuel anger or trying short, concrete steps to change how a person responds under pressure. Sessions look at what has worked before and what could be tried next.
He pays attention to everyday pressures that build into bigger problems. This includes work stress, parenting strain, resentment in relationships and difficulties coming from past trauma or family of origin issues. He also supports people navigating adoption and foster care matters, aging and attachment-related concerns.
Matt offers a direct but non-judgemental style. He aims to help people notice patterns, test new reactions and build clearer ways of handling heated moments. If someone wants to reduce how often they lose their temper or to manage another person's anger around them, he focuses on practical steps and steady progress.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on open listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people clarify what matters to them and feel understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It gives clear steps to test and change unhelpful thinking that can fuel anger or anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy uses short-term goals and small experiments to create quick, visible shifts in behaviour and mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree on a mix of approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel or by using shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also allow practical homework to be reviewed between meetings and for different tools to be trialled in real time. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support steady, practical progress without needing to promise a particular result.
