About Matthew

Matthew Pitman is a psychotherapist with 10 years of clinical experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, childhood abuse, and dissociation. He works with individuals who feel overwhelmed or stuck and helps them explore what is happening in their lives and what they might want to change. By offering a calm, nonjudgmental space, he supports clients in naming difficult experiences and making sense of emotional responses that can feel confusing or frightening.

Matthew uses talk-based therapy to help people reflect on patterns, process past events, and build more manageable ways of coping. He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership in the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Over his career he has focused on helping people move through distress and find clearer paths forward, tailoring conversations to each person’s concerns and priorities.

Throughout his practice Matthew aims to create an environment where people can speak openly without shame, explore painful memories or present challenges, and consider practical and personal changes that support greater wellbeing. His approach centers on understanding each person’s experience and working collaboratively to identify helpful steps toward relief and renewed direction.

Existential Approaches and Online Support

Existential therapy helps people explore life’s bigger questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It encourages reflection on values, purpose, and how difficult life circumstances shape a person’s sense of self, which can be useful for those facing grief, loss, identity questions, or a sense of aimlessness.

Within an existential framework, attention is also given to freedom and responsibility - understanding the options a person has and the constraints they face. This focus can help when making life changes or confronting patterns that contribute to anxiety, stress, or relational difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Matthew works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the way sessions unfold based on what proves most helpful. He and the client explore options together and select approaches that feel most relevant to the presenting concerns.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining a consistent course of support.
