Testimonials

I decided to try therapy for the first time and I’m lucky to say I found an amazing therapist my first go.
Matthew is very knowledgeable on everything I threw his way and he’s a good listener, I felt really comfortable with him and would 100% recommend him to others.
I had a total of 3 sessions and I feel really happy and informed on how I can manage situations better amongst other things.

Since seeing Matthew, he’s massively helped me working on relaxing techniques for stress, health anxiety and depression and also shift my mindset to one that is more peaceful and happy.
When I first got in touch with Matthew I was on high doses of medication but now I am completely off them.
Couldn’t recommend Matthew enough.

Tom, 23, Wigan

Matthew is a very nice person, friendly and professional. All of my issues were addressed methodically and rationally and after his treatment I felt a peace of mind I had not had for a very long time.
His words have stayed with me and I continue to benefit from them.
Thank you Matthew.

When I sought help I had an addiction that I’m too embarrassed to mention but I knew it was stopping me from being who I really am. When my partner and my family found out about my addiction my world came crashing down. Thank god I found Matthew because he helped me understand what was going on and made it seem so easy to get rid of the addiction – I could never have done this by myself. I never felt judged, he made me feel completely safe so I could open up and tell him things I have never told anyone else. The addiction was completely gone in two sessions and now he is helping me rebuild all the relationships that were affected. I am eternally grateful. I feel like I’m a better person than I have ever been and the future is bright. I fully recommend Matthew with anything that is troubling you. He seems to completely understand how you feel and he helps you gain a much better understanding of your thoughts and feelings that makes so much sense. I don’t know where I’d be without him. Every session has been an eye-opening experience and I come out on a high. I can’t thank you enough.
