Matthew Goldreich offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma and addiction. He also supports those coping with low self-esteem, grief, intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping problems, anger, career decisions, and life changes such as ADHD-related challenges. He is named Matthew Goldreich and holds BACP accreditation.

Matthew aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect on the ways they relate to themselves and others.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to fit each person’s needs. He uses simple, clear questions and occasional direction to help people stay focused and make steady progress. His main approach is psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past relationships and experiences shape present feelings and behaviour.

He encourages attention to recurring thoughts, feelings and images so new choices can emerge. This work often helps reduce internal conflict and increase self-acceptance. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore bonds with others, and on mindfulness to bring present-moment awareness into daily life.

These elements are woven into sessions as they suit the person’s goals and concerns. Matthew trained at the University of Exeter and holds a Master of Science in Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London. He has three years of clinical experience and is a BACP member.

He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients, and offers a range of online session formats.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions let people reflect on patterns and recurring feelings while discussing real-life situations that arise between meetings. Attachment-based work focuses on how bonds with key people affect trust and closeness; in remote sessions this can help clarify patterns in relationships and guide different ways of relating. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into everyday moments to slow down strong reactions and notice bodily and mental signals. These practices can be guided during a video call or supported through short text check-ins between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the person's goals and preferences, and can combine elements from different approaches. The plan is reviewed as therapy progresses so that techniques remain useful and relevant.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can suit those with lower bandwidth, live chat enables brief check-ins during busy days, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
