Matthew Quickenden-Smith

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi, my name is Matt, welcome to my page.
I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I have experience working alongside clients, of all ages and backgrounds, to help them deal with life stresses, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues and coping with life changes as well as many other challenges and issues.

Perhaps life is feeling overwhelming and speaking with friends and family just doesn’t seem to help. Feeling like it is hard to cope in certain areas of your life can be a challenge to manage on your own, but with the right support, you can thrive, achieving happiness and satisfaction with your own mental well-being. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person work. One key benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, these practical advantages make online therapy a convenient and effective way to access support.
