About Dr. Matt Treadwell

As a counselling psychologist I am trained in multiple therapeutic approaches, but I am primarily a relational psychodynamic practitioner. To give you an idea what this means, in our work together we will think about whatever brings you to therapy in its relational context: which relationships cause or exacerbate your troubles, and which relationships lessen or counteract them. We would also think about your implicit relationship expectations, which we all develop early in life and often sit beyond conscious awareness, and how they are linked to difficulties you may be having. And we will use the relationship we establish as a guide in our work, as well. Although this way of working takes your own history into account, its focus is in the present, and on how our work might help with whatever is at issue for you today. This relational perspective is effective in reducing distress and facilitating greater self-understanding and positive change, and is supported by a strong evidence base. My training in humanistic and cognitive-behavioural modalities also allows me to tailor my own approach to better fit your needs. READ MORE
