About
Matt Lightfoot offers a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic presence for people seeking support. He recognises the courage it can take to reach out for help, and draws on his own positive experience of counselling to inform a compassionate way of working.
As an insured and ICO-registered therapeutic counsellor and an accredited registrant with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc.), Matt works from a relational, person-centred model. This approach prioritises the client - sessions are generally led by the individual seeking support, and he does not assume to know more about a person than they know about themselves.
Matt focuses on building a personalised and empathetic relationship in which clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences. He describes his role as helping people identify what they would like to change and supporting them to discover how those changes might be made within a safe therapeutic space.
He has a particular interest in supporting people to find more meaning in their lives and commonly integrates elements of existential and pluralistic approaches into his practice. His training included over eight years of intensive personal therapy, so he brings a lived understanding of the therapeutic process from a client’s perspective.
Clients have described him as down to earth, real, relatable and very, very human. Matt is committed to meeting people where they are and offering steady support throughout the counselling journey. He is happy to have an initial conversation to see how he might help and whether he would be a good fit.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people want to know whether online therapy can genuinely help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the way that suits them best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
All participating practitioners are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists if they decide a different fit would be more helpful. This adaptability and accessibility are among the reasons online therapy is a viable option for many people seeking support.
