I’m Matt Davies, a dedicated marriage counsellor with a personal journey that led me to this fulfilling career. My relationship with my wife was thriving, and I was the managing director of a successful company. However, life presented unforeseen challenges, and we found ourselves in crisis. Couples therapy was the solution that saved our marriage. We’ve continued therapy throughout the years to ensure our relationship stays on course.
The impact of therapy, both as a couple and individually, was life-changing. It transformed my marriage and my outlook on life. So impressed by the results, I decided to transition to a career in therapy. I wanted to offer the same valuable insights and tools to other couples facing similar struggles.
Over the past decade, I’ve trained to specialise in relationship and couples therapy. Recognising the importance of intimacy, I also became a registered sex therapist. I am committed to continual professional development to provide the best support to my clients.
I offer comprehensive support for couples and individuals, focusing on improving relationships, communication, and emotional intimacy. My therapeutic approach is tailored to the unique needs of each client.
Couple Therapy:
I work with couples to address issues such as communication breakdowns, infidelity, trust issues, and major life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), The Gottman Method, and Terry Real’s approach, I help couples reconnect and rebuild trust.
Sex Therapy:
Sexual difficulties often put a strain on relationships. I am a trained sex therapist, helping individuals and couples address concerns about sexual intimacy, desire discrepancies, and other challenges that affect their sexual relationship.
Family Therapy:
In addition to couple therapy, I offer Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). This method helps families heal and improve emotional connections, creating a more supportive home environment.
I am a registered member of several professional bodies, which ensures that my practice adheres to the highest standards. These include the General Psychotherapy Council (GPsyC), United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and the College of Sexual & Relationship Therapists (COSRT). These accreditations reflect my commitment to providing safe, effective, and professional therapeutic support.
My training includes Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, as well as certification in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and Gottman Method Therapy. I’m equipped to help clients overcome communication challenges, emotional disconnection, and other relationship difficulties.
