Matthew "Matt" Redfearn, NCPS

Matthew "Matt" Redfearn welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next step. He writes in a straightforward way and focuses on helping people regain motivation, build confidence and manage stress and anxiety. Matt sees depression, relationship strains and life changes as common problems he can help you talk through.

Matt practises with a belief that the person knows their own story best. He uses that starting point to help people identify strengths and small, practical steps forward. Conversations are aimed at making decisions feel clearer and reducing the weight of day-to-day worries.

With three years of professional experience, Matt draws on a mix of talking-based methods. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and behaviour, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable goals and track progress.

His work includes support around parenting, grief, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues, as well as career concerns and coping with wider life transitions. Matt also lists experience with adoption and foster care, attachment matters, ageing and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Matt helps people weigh options, try different ways of coping, and notice what changes make a real difference. He encourages straightforward goals that fit into everyday life.

How Matt uses different approaches in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's perspective at the centre of sessions and focuses on listening, validation and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It includes practical exercises and short tasks to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep people stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on what is already working. It helps people spot progress quickly and build momentum toward clearer choices and better daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matt will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help choose or combine methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats available with the therapist before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different session rhythms while keeping the focus on practical steps and measurable progress.
