Mathew Roderick, BACP

Mathew Roderick is a United Kingdom based therapist with six years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, low self esteem, motivation difficulties and depression, as well as concerns around relationships, addiction, trauma and grief. Mathew combines clinical knowledge with a practical, coaching-oriented approach to help clients explore patterns, build coping strategies and work toward clearer goals.

He recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting, so he focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Mathew works collaboratively with each person to understand their priorities and to tailor sessions to individual needs, whether the focus is on symptom relief, behavioural change, or deeper emotional understanding. He also addresses issues such as sleep problems, parenting and career concerns, intimacy and sexual abuse, obsessive and compulsive patterns, and substance use.

Mathew offers support for both local and international clients and provides a range of session formats to suit different lifestyles. Prospective clients who feel he might be a good fit are encouraged to reach out to begin the process of arranging an initial appointment. BACP refers to membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating recognised professional standards.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mathew commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and certain eating issues. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a collaborative conversation to strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially helpful for addictions, behavioural change and when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mathew works with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and then adapts methods collaboratively so the work feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit therapy around work, family and travel. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
