Matt Willis

I’m Matt, I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who is approachable, warm and listens without any judgement to everything you would like to bring to therapy. My core modality is person-centred which means I believe you have all the answers. My job is to help you better understand and accept all parts of you.

I believe one of the most important factors of successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. So it is important to find someone you feel comfortable with. If we work together my first task is to build a strong therapeutic relationship between us. One which is open, accepting, understanding and honest. Together we can explore all of who you are, integrating all parts of you.

I work short term and long term, so whether you want to focus on a particular struggle or want to better understand who you really are.

My journey towards becoming a therapist was needing therapy myself. After many therapists (some better than others!) I now know myself better than I could have ever imagined. Knowing how much of a difference therapy has made in my life, I decided to become a therapist to help others.

I have an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy and have experience working in different roles within the NHS, supporting cancer patients and the bereaving. I have also worked in the university setting, working with students.
