Matthew Goldreich , BACP

Matthew Goldreich offers a thoughtful, non-judgemental space where individuals can pause and reflect on the patterns that shape their relationships with themselves and others. He works to help people understand how these patterns developed, supporting exploration of new pathways toward self-acceptance and meaningful change.

Whether addressing a specific difficulty or seeking greater self-awareness, Matthew uses a collaborative pace that responds to each person’s needs. His psychodynamic approach focuses on how present feelings and behaviours are influenced by past relationships and experiences, with the aim of reducing inner conflict and opening up possibilities for change.

Sessions are designed to allow free expression without censoring, with careful attention paid to thoughts, feelings and images that arise during therapy. Matthew offers light direction to help maintain momentum and accountability while remaining supportive throughout the process. He is a registered member of the BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and completed MSc-level clinical training at the University of Exeter. He also holds an MSc in Psychology from Birkbeck College, University of London, and is currently undertaking Clinical Doctoral training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the University of Exeter.

Psychodynamic and Attachment-Informed Online Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how present feelings and behaviours are shaped by past relationships and experiences. It helps people uncover unconscious patterns that contribute to inner conflict, offering a pathway toward greater self-understanding and emotional relief.

Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns of relating to oneself and others, helping clients make sense of how early bonds influence current relationships. This approach can be useful for those struggling with intimacy, trust, or recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. Matthew works with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus of therapy as understanding deepens.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy lives or those far from a therapist’s location. These options make it easier to attend sessions consistently and to choose the format that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals trained in these therapeutic approaches.
