Matthew Goldreich:
Psychodynamic Psychotherapist (BACP)
My name is Matthew and I am a BACP-registered psychotherapist working online and in-person at HQ Therapy Rooms in Dalston, Hackney E8.
You may be seeking therapy due to experiencing feelings, thoughts, and behaviours which feel stuck or repetitive. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can take time to reflect on your patterns of relating to yourself and others.
The therapeutic process allows you to gain insight into how these patterns developed and explore avenues for meaningful change.
Therapy can help to address a specific problem or to cultivate greater self-awareness. Working collaboratively, we can explore and make sense of whatever it is that you are going through.
I have experience working with adults dealing with a range of issues: depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, addiction, anger, bereavement, self-confidence, relationship difficulties, sexual and gender identity, obsessive compulsion, suicidal ideation, spiritual emergence and creative challenges.
By paying careful attention to the thoughts and feelings which arise during the course of treatment, new choices and states of mind can begin to emerge.
Psychotherapy does not exclusively deal with problems and suffering. I see psychotherapy as directed towards achieving a holistic form of well-being, going beyond symptom relief to foster personal growth, openness and self-expression.
Seeking therapy can feel like a daunting step into the unknown. I treat the first few sessions as an extended consultation so that you can decide whether we are a good fit and if it would be helpful to continue working together.
After this, each session is open and non-directive, meaning that you can talk about whatever you like at a pace which suits you. I will ask that you speak freely and try not to censor yourself.
Please reach out with any further questions, to book a first session or to arrange an initial phone call.
