Kevin Matthews, BACP

Kevin Matthews is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and midlife concerns. He also supports people managing anger, attention difficulties such as ADHD, and workplace or relationship-related strains. Kevin works from a respectful, person-centred stance and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. Sessions focus on listening, gently noticing patterns, and trying small changes that fit daily life. Kevin often blends talking with bodily awareness work to help stress and emotional intensity feel more manageable.

His approach draws on client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the centre. He also uses somatic techniques to help people become aware of how feelings show up in the body. Internal Family Systems ideas are used to understand different parts of a person that hold thoughts and emotions.

Kevin trained and works within the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has four years of professional experience supporting adults through practical and emotional problems. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients at present.

Kevin encourages a steady pace and collaborative goals. He aims to help people feel clearer about choices, manage day-to-day pressures better, and move through periods of loss or life transition with more confidence.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Kevin combines client-centred listening with somatic awareness and Internal Family Systems ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood so a person can find their own solutions; it helps with anxiety, low mood and decision points. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily signals and uses gentle exercises to reduce tension and strong emotions. Internal Family Systems helps people name and talk to different parts of themselves that hold fear, shame or protective behaviour.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kevin works collaboratively to try different ways of working and checks in about what feels helpful. Together they set goals and adjust methods based on what the person prefers and needs.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins on busy days. It also makes it straightforward to continue work through life changes or when scheduling in-person sessions would be difficult.
