Matt Lightfoot Counselling

Matt Lightfoot Counselling A compassionate online therapeutic counsellor dedicated to helping people find their strength. 🌱 You are the expert in your own life, after all!

You've taken a courageous and positive step in seeking a therapist to work with. Sometimes it can be hard to find the strength to reach out and ask for support - I've certainly been there! With a warm and non-judgemental approach, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I am a fully qualified, insured and GDPR/IC

O-registered counsellor. The clients and presenting issues that I work with are diverse, though I'm particularly interested in helping people cope with life changes & relationships, along with helping my clients manage anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. I have a solid working knowledge of the person-centred approach, and this allows me to provide a personalised and empathetic relationship that is tailored to the unique needs of each individual. This type of counselling puts you in control and the sessions are led by yourself - I won't tell you what we should talk about or assume I know more about you than you do. We will work together to help you to identify what you would like to change and how you might be able to do that within a safe space. I'm extremely passionate about helping people find their own inner strength and resources, and providing a safe space for them to find their own answers and solutions to what has brought them to counselling. I also have a particular interest in supporting people to find more meaning in their lives, and often bring elements of existential and pluralistic approaches into the way in which I practice. I've had over six years of intensive personal therapy as part of my own training journey, and so have a good understanding of what therapy can be like from a client's perspective. If you're seeking a therapist who will meet you where you are and support you every step of the way, please don't hesitate to get in touch so we can arrange a chat to discuss your needs.

Never underestimate the power of just being present either.

Counsellors need to let off some steam sometimes too, as much as the next human being. For me it was camping in a muddy field for six days and seeing fifty awesome bands perform live 🀘🏼

A reminder I'm not quite the spring chicken that I used to be, but excellent fun and catharsis all the same 😁

2,500 words written on postnatal depression and puerperal psychosis. I sure know how to rock my Sundays (!) but am now a lot more clued up on and confident with some very important topics and conditions.

This is an excellent support site, filled with resources!
