Matthew Goldreich , BACP

Matthew Goldreich offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect on how they relate to themselves and others. He supports exploration of recurring patterns, helping clients understand how past relationships and experiences have shaped current feelings and behaviours and opening possibilities for greater self-acceptance and meaningful change.

Working collaboratively and at a pace that suits each person, Matthew helps address specific problems or foster broader self-awareness. His psychodynamic orientation means he pays attention to how present difficulties connect to earlier life events and relationships, with the belief that increased self-knowledge can reduce inner conflict and create room for new choices.

Each session is designed for open expression, where attention to emerging thoughts, feelings and images can illuminate fresh perspectives. Matthew offers gentle guidance to keep the work focused and to maintain accountability while supporting clients through the therapeutic process.

He is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and completed MSc-level clinical training at the University of Exeter. Matthew holds an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck College, University of London, and is undertaking Clinical Doctoral training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the University of Exeter. He has three years of professional experience working with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, self-esteem and addictions.

Psychodynamic and Attachment-Based Support Online

Psychodynamic therapy explores how present feelings and behaviours are connected to earlier relationships and experiences. It helps people make sense of repetitive patterns and inner conflicts so they can consider new ways of relating and feeling. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional bonds - it examines how early attachment experiences influence trust, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and can be helpful for those struggling with closeness or repeated relational problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Matthew Goldreich will collaborate with each person to identify which methods are most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the approach as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, to maintain continuity when circumstances change, and to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while working toward the client’s goals.
