Matthew Green

Matthew Green is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He works with people facing grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. He also supports adults with ageing and geriatric issues, isolation and the practical and emotional sides of end-of-life situations.

He spent several years working with young people in educational settings. Before that he worked with adults on bereavement and loss. That mix means he is used to short conversations and longer talks, and to helping people at different stages of life.

In sessions he follows Client-Centred Therapy. That means sessions aim to focus on the person's own thoughts and feelings, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing. People often use this approach to talk through grief, worries about identity, or doubts about what comes next.

Practical topics often come up, such as communicating with others, dealing with guilt or shame, and finding a sense of purpose after change. He helps people name those issues and try new ways of responding to them. Sessions typically concentrate on what matters most to the person in front of him.

Matthew encourages people to make the first step when they feel ready. He describes clients as experts in their own stories and works alongside them to build confidence and understanding. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Client-Centred work adapts to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and the person's own perspective. In practice this means the counsellor follows what the client brings to the session, asks open questions and reflects back feelings and meanings. This approach is commonly used for grief, self-esteem and life purpose concerns because it creates room to process difficult emotions and test new ways of thinking.

That method can be paired with practical conversations about communication, guilt, or end-of-life issues. Matthew will work with the person to decide whether this style fits their goals, and will adjust the tone and pace based on what the client wants. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to connect when mobility, caregiving or geographic distance make in-person sessions harder. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which session rhythms and practical arrangements suit each person's life.
