Matthew Groom, BACP

Matthew Groom works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship pain and jealousy. He is Matthew Groom, BACP, and brings six years of professional experience to his practice. He aims to make the first step easier with a calm, straightforward approach.

He offers a space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Matthew listens closely and helps clients name what is happening. He focuses on practical, manageable steps rather than jargon or pressure to change quickly.

Matthew has worked in the NHS, the charity sector and independent practice. That range has given him experience with a wide set of concerns, including depression, trauma and addiction, and specific issues such as attachment, infidelity and alternative sexual cultures like BDSM and kink.

Sessions include conversations about boundaries, communication and coping skills. He also supports people facing grief, separation or career stress, and those experiencing compassion fatigue or bipolar challenges. The aim is to help people build more stable routine and clearer choices.

Matthew works in English and accepts international clients. He uses a straightforward matching process for new clients and schedules sessions according to availability. He describes therapy as a collaborative process and helps people find the next practical step once they feel ready.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Evidence-based approaches focus on clear steps and talking openly about difficult feelings. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviour and then try small, practical experiments to change them. This is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it breaks problems into manageable actions.

Another helpful method looks at attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people understand repeated responses in close relationships - for example patterns around jealousy, control or abandonment - and tries different behaviours to improve connection and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Matthew treats this as a collaborative process. He will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and agree on a plan to try together rather than prescribing a single method upfront.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into busy days, fewer travel demands and the ability to keep regular appointments from wherever you are. The biography does not state which online formats are used, so confirm the available session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote work to make therapy more convenient without changing the core of face-to-face conversations.
