Matthew Goldreich, BACP

Matthew Goldreich offers a calm, non-judgemental space where individuals can reflect on how they relate to themselves and to others. He supports exploration of the ways past relationships and experiences influence present feelings and behaviours, helping people develop greater self-acceptance and practical pathways for meaningful change. Sessions are tailored to whatever someone is facing - from a single presenting problem to a broader aim of increased self-awareness - and progress unfolds at a pace that suits the individual.

Working from a psychodynamic framework, Matthew focuses on how present patterns are shaped by earlier experience. This approach emphasises increasing self-knowledge to reduce internal conflict and open up possibilities for different ways of being. Each session is offered as an open space for honest expression, with careful attention paid to emerging thoughts, feelings and images so that new choices and states of mind can begin to appear. He provides gentle direction to help clients stay accountable while feeling supported through the therapeutic process.

Matthew is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and completed MSc-level clinical training at the University of Exeter. He is currently completing Clinical Doctoral training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the University of Exeter and also holds an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck College, University of London.
