Matt Valentine-Chase

Hello you...

If you are looking for a gentle, grounded space to slow down and create real, meaningful change, you are so welcome here.

I’m Matt Valentine-Chase. With over 27 years as a qualified counsellor—alongside a background bridging clinical practice, creative arts, and integrative work—my focus is simply on helping you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we work to ease the noise of stuck patterns, old wounds, and life's heavy moments, helping you reconnect with a sense of peace, clarity, and genuine inner room to breathe.

My approach isn't rigid or purely conversational. It is warm, human, and heart-centred. We create an unhurried space where genuine presence—and creative expression like writing, art, or movement, if that appeals to you—allows your own natural wisdom and strengths to emerge. Therapy here isn't about "fixing" a broken version of you; it’s about kindly uncovering the gold that is already there.

I work primarily online, offering spacious 90-minute sessions designed to give us the time and depth to move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. (I also offer occasional in-person sessions in London, Cheshire, and surrounding areas.)

Finding the right therapist is such an important step, feel free to ask me anything before we meet. It’s a chance for us to talk through what you're looking for and see if we feel like a good fit to work together.

Please feel free to visit my website to learn more about my approach, read client experiences, or book a conversation. You can also reach out to me directly through FindATherapy via email, text, or WhatsApp.

(If you happen to be seeking dedicated support around intimacy, relationships, or sex-specific coaching, you will also find a clear, seamless link over on my main site.)

I offer a heart-centred, non-directive yet deeply engaged style of therapy rooted in IAmMattVC Alchemy™. Rather than endless talking or “fixing”, we create a spacious, safe harbour of stillness where the heavy lead of old patterns, pain and noise can gently transmute into presence, clarity and inner gold.

Sessions blend qualified counselling with creative access points (art, writing, movement or 'just' sitting still - whatever works for you!), restorative presence and intuitive insight. The work is embodied, intuitive and transformative — professional clinical grounding meets alchemical depth. Online 90-minute containers allow real space for change to emerge at your own pace.

I am sex-worker inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirmative and disability positive.
