Matt Hussey
Counsellor in London

Hello! My name is Matt and I‘m an integrative, psychodynamic therapist specialising in trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and other complex mental health issues.

I work in an integrative, relational way. That means I use and combine different theories and approaches to help you find the best way forward. I also believe that it's the relationship that heals us.

While other therapists may prefer to use labels and diagnoses to identify who you are, I believe in allowing a person to define who they think they are. I believe labels are limiting and rob us of the opportunity to redefine and reimagine our lives.

Having a space to explore, challenge and navigate the most difficult parts of yourself can only be done if you trust and feel held by the person sitting in front of you. This can take weeks, months, or even years. A big focus of my work is helping lay the foundations for that trusting relationship to emerge.
