Matt is a heart-centred practitioner and natural energy worker with recognised professional qualifications - his approach is intuitive and integrative. His practice is disabled friendly, sex worker affirmative and poly/kink/sex positive. Disclaimer - 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.
