Matthew Goldreich, BACP

Matthew Goldreich offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people troubled by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, addictions and jealousy. He invites clients to reflect on how patterns of thinking and relating developed, and to try small changes that feel manageable. Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and aim to build clearer self-understanding over time.

He uses a psychodynamic style. That means he pays attention to how current feelings and behaviours link to earlier relationships and events. Talking openly in sessions helps bring recurring patterns into view so they can be tested and changed.

Matthew also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how people form close bonds and how those bonds affect day-to-day reactions. Mindfulness techniques are used at times to help ground clients when feelings become overwhelming. He frames therapy as a collaboration and offers gentle direction to keep work focused.

Matthew holds an MSc in clinical training from the University of Exeter and an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He is completing further doctoral-level clinical training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the University of Exeter.

Sessions invite free speech and careful attention to thoughts, feelings and images that arise. Over time, this approach aims to open up new choices and reduce inner tension. People interested in starting are encouraged to read the profile and begin the initial matching steps on the site.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Matthew uses psychodynamic work to help people see how present reactions connect to earlier relationships and events; this often helps with recurring patterns like jealousy or difficulty trusting. Attachment-based ideas are also used to explore how people form bonds and why certain situations trigger strong emotional responses. Mindfulness techniques are offered alongside these approaches to help manage overwhelming feelings and bring attention back to the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Matthew will work together with each client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or after work. It also makes it possible to continue work with a therapist when circumstances change, while keeping the focus on clear thinking, emotional regulation and practical next steps.
