Matthew Goldreich Psychodynamic Psychotherapist Hackney London E8Matthew 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.
