About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures and low mood. He also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, trauma and self-esteem issues.
Matt believes clients know their own stories and brings a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions are aimed at practical steps and clearer thinking rather than medical labels. He often helps people identify small changes that ease day-to-day pressure at home.
In sessions he uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and follow the client's priorities. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. These methods are used to address relationship difficulties, parenting strain and life changes.
His style is direct and practical. Conversations tend to focus on workable strategies, clearer communication and coping techniques that people can try between meetings. He encourages clients to reflect on what helps them feel more capable.
Matt has worked with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family tensions and family of origin problems. He also has experience with intimacy-related subjects, BDSM and kink matters, and problems connected to ageing and disability. He accepts international clients and holds sessions from the United Kingdom.

How sessions work
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and letting the client set the pace. The therapist follows the person's priorities and helps them clarify what matters most. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to talk through family or relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practise new responses, which can reduce anxiety, low mood and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to create quick, manageable change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree together which methods to try, based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can be reviewed as the work continues.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Online work can make it easier to have regular check-ins without long travel, to schedule short sessions during breaks, or to continue contact if someone moves location. Because session formats are not listed in the profile, clients should confirm which online options are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online appointments to help maintain steady progress alongside everyday responsibilities.
