About Matthew
Matthew Hindle is a counsellor with 18 years of experience. He brings a calm, empathetic presence and practical interpersonal skills to sessions. He believes people have strengths they may not see at first and gently helps them find those strengths again.
He uses a pluralistic approach, which means he draws on different ways of working to suit each person. Sessions are conversational and supportive. Matthew aims to make space for difficult feelings and painful memories without judgement.
Background and approach
Clients commonly come with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem difficulties. He also supports people affected by trauma and abuse, and those within the LGBT community. He keeps language simple and focuses on what feels useful in everyday life.
Matthew listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour and then works with people to try new ways of coping. He offers practical steps alongside emotional support. This might include trying small changes between sessions to test what helps.
He works in English and accepts international clients. His NCPS credential is listed as part of his background. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to sessions and plan next steps together.

Approaches that guide online work
Matthew describes his practice as pluralistic, which means he combines evidence-based techniques to match what each person needs. One common strand is talking-based therapy that focuses on understanding patterns in thoughts and feelings and finding small, practical changes to try between sessions. This approach helps with anxiety, stress and low mood by breaking down problems into manageable steps.Another helpful technique he uses emphasises relational work and emotional processing. That approach supports people affected by trauma or abuse by creating steady, paced conversations where memories and reactions can be explored and understood. These methods aim to rebuild a sense of control and self-worth over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Matthew will discuss options with clients and decide collaboratively what to try first, adjusting methods as goals become clearer. The focus is on what fits the person's needs, preferences and practical life circumstances.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to access consistent support from the United Kingdom or abroad and to fit therapy around everyday commitments.
