Matthew "Matt" Redfearn welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. He writes plainly and listens closely, offering space to talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulties with motivation or self-esteem. Matt believes people know their own story and brings a calm, practical presence to help them move forward.
He uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person's pace and priorities. That means the conversation is shaped around what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that make a real difference. Matt has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as his listed credential.
He works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strains, addiction and trauma and abuse. He also supports people facing career pressures, anger, and life changes linked to adoption, ageing, attachment and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-orientated when needed, or gently exploratory if that suits better.
Conversations can include short exercises, new ways of thinking about problems, and clear actions to try between sessions. International clients can be supported in English. Matt encourages a collaborative process.
He helps people set realistic steps, notice progress, and adjust the plan as they go. Taking that first step can feel hard, and he focuses on making the path forward manageable and steady.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach give room for the person to lead the conversation and set priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and stress when delivered through regular online meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, achievable steps and builds on what is already working; it suits people who want concrete goals and quick, practical progress.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different techniques, and adapt the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative tone means the method can shift as needs and preferences become clearer during sessions.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit people who prefer writing or need flexible check-ins between calls. These options help people access regular support without long travel and make it simpler to book sessions around work, family or other commitments.
