Matt is a heart-centred practitioner and natural energy healer with recognised professional qualifications - his approach is intuitive and integrative. His practice is disabled friendly, sex worker affirmative and poly/kink/sex positive. Disclaimer - sex issues - often clients seek sex and relationship support to address a specific sex or relationship issue. This may be entirely appropriate. Matt has found though that often the sex/relationship issue is a symptom, rather than a cause. He reserves the right to not go in the direction of the sex issue, if this is causing a distraction to the deeper issue. Do feel free to discuss this with him prior to starting therapy.

"I have worked with Matt for over a year now and absolutely love my sessions with him. Matt is a fantastic listener and takes a unique yet professional approach which I've not had before in previous therapy appointments. This has really helped me feel completely relaxed so I can address my issues with no shame, fear or judgement. Matt takes his time with his sessions and ensures all points are covered. I began sessions on a fortnightly basis but now only have a top up session when I feel like I need to which is always enough. I always feel so much better after my appointments and always look forward to seeing him. "
