Mathew Roderick, BACP

Mathew Roderick uses a mix of practical and insight-driven approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and eating-related concerns. He keeps conversations straightforward and focuses on small steps that can make daily life easier. Mathew is a BACP counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

He works collaboratively to identify what matters most to each person. That might be reducing panic, improving sleep, tackling low self-esteem, or finding ways to change unhelpful habits around food and substance use. Mathew draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought and behaviour patterns, and on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen motivation for change.

He also uses Psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented and practical. Together these approaches allow Mathew to balance short-term coping strategies with longer-term understanding.

Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their day. Costs vary with location and the subscription model used by the service, which can be cancelled at any time.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session via the platform’s Start Therapy button. Mathew aims to make the first steps clear and manageable for anyone unsure about beginning therapy.

How Mathew’s approaches work online

Mathew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood, obsessions and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen personal reasons to change, useful for addictions, eating concerns and making lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mathew will talk through options and agree a plan based on a person’s goals, needs and preferences. He aims to keep the process collaborative so people can adjust methods if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face meetings, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
