Kevin Matthews

Kevin Matthews is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and depression. He also supports those struggling with concentration and focus concerns, including symptoms commonly linked to ADHD. Kevin presents a calm, straightforward approach aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.

Kevin believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into therapy. He offers a space to talk through difficult feelings and to test small changes in thinking and behaviour. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded rather than full of jargon.

His practice draws on client-centred methods that keep the person and their goals central. He also uses somatic ideas to notice where feelings show up in the body, and Internal Family Systems tools to understand different parts of the self. These approaches are used to make sense of things like anger, grief or work stress.

Kevin has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. He will work at a pace that feels manageable and will adapt techniques to what each person prefers. Many people find this shape of therapy useful when they want clearer thinking and calmer reactions.

To begin, Kevin asks people to reflect on what matters most to them and what they hope to change. Sessions move from understanding to small, practical steps so progress feels visible and realistic.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's concerns and goals at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and helps the person clarify what matters, which can reduce overwhelm and make next steps clearer. Somatic Therapy draws attention to bodily sensations linked to emotions, helping people notice and regulate feelings that show up as tension or agitation. Internal Family Systems works with different 'parts' of someone to understand inner conflicts and heal stuck patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kevin will collaborate with the person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. He adjusts pace and tools based on what helps the person feel understood and able to act differently.

The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also suit people who prefer an option that fits around work or caregiving commitments rather than requiring a journey to an office.
