About Kevin

Kevin Matthews helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression and concentration or focus difficulties. He works with people worried about ADHD symptoms and the impact they have on daily life. Kevin uses a calm, straightforward style and encourages clients to notice their strengths as they work through hard things.

He believes the person in therapy knows their story best. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than clinical jargon. Kevin draws on client-centred counselling to keep the conversation focused on the client’s experience. He also uses somatic approaches to help people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body.

Internal Family Systems helps people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts relate to one another. With four years of experience and a BACP credential, Kevin aims to create a steady, supportive space for change. He keeps language simple and actions concrete, so parents and busy people can use what they learn quickly.

His work can help with relationship fallout from separation, feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife transitions, money worries, sexuality questions, social anxiety and workplace stress. Kevin supports people who want clearer thinking, steadier mood and more confidence in daily life.

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps clients decide what matters most to change. This approach suits people who want a respectful, paced conversation about their feelings and choices.

Somatic therapy brings attention to bodily sensations tied to stress and emotion. Online sessions can guide simple body awareness exercises, breathing practices and gentle movement to help reduce tension and improve emotional regulation. This is useful for anxiety, grief and tension held in the body.

Internal Family Systems helps people map the different parts of themselves - the reactive parts, the protective parts and the calmer core. In online sessions the therapist and client talk through those parts and try exercises that build understanding and cooperation between them. This can assist with shame, anger and self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will explore what feels most helpful and adapt methods to your needs, goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may mix elements from different approaches.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
