Colin Matthews - Chartered Psychologist

I have over 20 years experience as a psychologist, working in a range of settings including the NHS. I am a Registered Counselling Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and an Associate Fellow of the BPS.

I work very much with the individual and tailor therapy to their needs. My main focus is to help people get to where they want to get to through therapy and I draw on a range of therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy and EMDR in order to achieve this.

I specialise in the following areas:

• Existential issues
• Lack of direction and focus
• Work/Life Balance
• Trauma - PTSD
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Phobias
• Stress
• Bereavement
• High Functioning Autism

Additionally, I work with organisations and healthcare professionals and provide a range of organisational support including occupational health services, coaching, clinical supervision, consultancy and psychological assessments.

My Commitment to Clients

I ensure that my psychology services are informed by the latest research. As such, the therapy I provide is evidence based and adapted to the individual. I collaborate with other independent psychology practices in supervision, teaching and training. I ensure that my training is kept up to date through continuous professional development. I adhere to the professional ethics of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

I strongly believe that therapy should be determined by the needs of my clients. Research shows that clients want a therapy that works, that helps them set their own goals and treats them respectfully and responsibly. I use my expert knowledge and skills to provide you with therapy adapted to your personal needs and expectations.
