Counselling in Worcester and online
Hello, my name is Matt Patterson
I am a qualified integrative counsellor based in Worcester, UK
This means I can offer a range of therapeutic interventions, and have the experience and versatility to match whatever challenges you may want to bring to our therapeutic space. I gained my diploma in counselling from Re-Vision.
In working with clients from very diverse backgrounds I have gained experience of issues including:
Anger
Anxiety
Boarding School issues
Child physical and sexual abuse
Death/loss
Difference and Diversity
Disability
Disempowerment
Dissociation
Depression
Eating Disorders
Grief
Hoarding
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Parental issues/divorce
Relationship issues/divorce
Separation anxiety
Working with Phobias
The therapy and counselling I offer
can help create the conditions necessary for positive change.
That change can begin the moment you walk into our therapeutic space.
But in a world where speed is primary, newness rules and immediate resolutions are the norm, I believe something is lost and that quick fixes, whilst alluring, rarely lead to long term solutions.
The more deeply we can know ourselves, the more we can heal and integrate the wounds that hold us back and cause suffering to ourselves and others. Working as an open-ended therapist, I can tailor the duration of our work to best suit your needs. Leaving us free to work at your pace, and take the time and space necessary for you to fully trust the process. We will work together to draw out and understand whatever you need to bring to our therapeutic space.
Revealing these depths takes patience, and requires an ability to look beyond immediate experience. In addition to actively listening and being an empathic presence, I will therefore use myth, archetypes, image, dreams and play; the language of the unconscious, to help us in the process.
I offer counselling and therapy in-person in Worcester and online.
