Matthew Groom , BACP

Matthew Groom is a UK-based therapist with more than six years of professional experience across the NHS, the charity sector, and private practice. He works with a wide range of presenting issues including anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, separation and grief, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, work-related stress, past trauma, anger, and family conflict. He also has experience supporting people from the LGBTQ+ community while working with clients from all backgrounds.

Matthew holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting his professional affiliation with a recognised UK counselling body. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings honestly and begin to explore patterns that affect their wellbeing and relationships. His practice draws on evidence-informed techniques to help people manage symptoms, make sense of past experiences, and build practical skills for everyday life.

Recognising that starting therapy takes courage, Matthew emphasizes listening and validation as central to change. He believes that being truly heard can restore a sense of value and aliveness, and that compassionate therapeutic support can help people navigate loss, repair relationships, and work toward lasting personal growth.
