About Matthew

Matthew "Matt" Redfearn welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. He focuses on helping with stress, anxiety, low mood, confidence and relationship concerns. Matt’s style aims to make talking about difficult things feel straightforward and useful.

Matt works from the view that each person knows their own story best. He listens without judgement and helps people build on their own strengths. Sessions are aimed at practical changes that can reduce worry and improve daily functioning.

With three years of professional experience, Matt offers a mix of approaches to match individual needs. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change thinking patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma, intimacy matters, anger and career stress. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging issues, attachment and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Matt works with adults in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. He holds the NCPS credential, which is listed as part of his professional details. If you want straightforward, goal-oriented conversations, he can help you take practical steps toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

How his approaches shape online and remote work

Client-Centred Therapy is about following what matters most to the person in front of him. Matt listens, reflects back what he hears and helps people clarify their own priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that cause distress and testing simple changes to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and practical steps, helping people notice small changes that move them toward what they want to achieve.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Matt will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Together they’ll review progress and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and useful.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. Some people find remote sessions help them stay consistent, while others prefer in-person contact; the therapist will help decide what works best for everyday life and aims to make therapy practical and achievable.
