About Matthew
Matthew Green is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He has worked with young people in educational settings and with adults facing bereavement and loss. He lists grief, self esteem, stress, anxiety and relationship concerns among his core areas.
He focuses on bereavement counselling and helping people process loss. He also supports people who struggle with low self esteem and those trying to rebuild confidence after difficult events. Matthew works from a client-centred stance and puts the person's own experience at the centre of sessions.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual's needs. He listens for the details that matter and helps people notice strengths they already have. This approach is often used to talk through guilt and shame, life purpose questions, isolation and communication problems.
Matthew's background includes work with young adults and in educational settings, and earlier roles supporting adults with hospice and end-of-life issues. That mix informs his practical focus on grief, ageing and the social effects of loss. He aims to help people make sense of what happened and consider next steps.
People who come for help often want straightforward support with everyday feelings like anxiety, stress and loneliness. Matthew encourages clients to set small, realistic goals and to test different ways of coping. He invites people to discover which approaches help them feel more able to manage difficult thoughts and emotions.
How client-centred practice translates to online sessions
Matthew uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening to the person's experience and following their lead. This approach helps with processing grief, managing shame or guilt and rebuilding self esteem by letting the client set the pace and topics of conversation.Client-Centred Therapy centres the client's own understanding and strengths. Sessions are often conversational, with the counsellor reflecting and asking questions to help the person clarify feelings and options. This can suit people dealing with loss, isolation or life-purpose questions who need a steady, person-led space to think aloud.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Matthew will collaborate with the client to decide which methods and topics to focus on, adjusting as needs and goals change. The aim is to match practical ways of coping to what the person actually wants to tackle.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, use audio rather than video if that suits them, or schedule meetings at times that fit a busy week.
