Matthew Gowthorpe, RP (Qualifying)

I work with older teens, young adults, professionals, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps, whether that's a career change, relationship challenges, or adjusting to new life roles. I also support individuals experiencing performance-related stress, including those in high-pressure environments or athletics.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space grounded in Person-Centred and Emotion-Focused Therapy. Having navigated a career change myself, I understand what it's like to be a working professional. I also draw on CBT and DBT strategies to help clients build coping skills, regulate emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I use a Person-Centred framework, which means I value the therapeutic relationship and always meet you with empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. Goal setting matters too, and I bring in techniques from CBT and Motivational Interviewing as fits your needs. With a background in engineering, I relate closely to professional and workplace concerns.

Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but you don't have to navigate things alone. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honoured to support you. Call or email me for a free 15-minute consultation.
