Matt Thomas

Hi, I’m Matt (he/him), a BACP registered Humanistic Therapist. I offer face to face sessions in Brighton & Hove and also work online and via telephone. Experiencing difficult feelings and struggling emotionally at times is a natural part of life. I can help make problems feel smaller and lighter by helping you explore and understand them in a safe, non-judgmental space. I can also help you find practical solutions to help manage your life that may draw on existing skills and resilience. Issues around race and LGBTQIA+ and your experience of the world are particularly important to me.

Sometimes we perhaps need someone to talk to who is not a friend or family member. I will provide a safe space to do this, and will help you understand things better. Therapy can be like decluttering a messy cupboard, we will take everything out, tidy it up and put it back in better order. I believe our therapeutic relationship is important - you can expect me to be warm, honest and genuine. A little about me personally would be that I love to travel, enjoy most sports and am a keen runner, having completed 5 marathons. I am an also an avid reader, particularly classic and crime fiction.

I offer an initial 20-30 minute online session at no cost to you via Google Meets. It's an informal meeting but I have a few things I always ask. I'll also talk a bit about how I work and you can ask any questions you may have. If you are happy to go ahead we then discuss next steps.
