About Kevin
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 4 years' experience. Kevin Matthews helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression and attention difficulties such as ADHD. He works from approaches including Client-Centred Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems and focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life more manageable.
Kevin starts by listening to what matters most to each person. He treats the client as the expert on their own life and looks for their strengths. Sessions typically involve talking things through, noticing how the body responds to emotion, and tracing patterns that repeat in relationships and behaviour.
He works with issues around abandonment and attachment, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Money worries, workplace stress, social anxiety and midlife concerns are also common topics he addresses. The approach aims to reduce overwhelm and improve everyday functioning rather than rely on labels alone.
Kevin uses Client-Centred methods to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities. Somatic techniques help people notice and settle physical reactions to stress. Internal Family Systems work is used to map different parts of a person's inner life and how they interact.
Sessions follow a practical tone and move at a pace set by the client. Kevin asks straightforward questions and offers reflections that people can try between meetings. He encourages small experiments and ongoing review so progress is visible and concrete.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what the client wants to address. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities to shape sessions. This helps when someone needs practical problem-solving and straightforward support.Somatic Therapy brings attention to how stress and emotion show up in the body. Simple practices can help people notice tension, breathing patterns and bodily responses that affect mood and focus. This is useful for anxiety, anger and attention difficulties where physical reactions matter.
Internal Family Systems maps different parts or voices inside a person and how they relate. It helps identify repeating patterns, such as critical inner voices or protective parts, and creates space to respond differently to them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as sessions progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people maintain continuity of care when plans change, though the exact formats should be verified in advance.
