Matt Corey - Break the Past, to Create Your Future

Description

Licensed Psychologist | Psychology and Counselling | Trauma-Sensitive and Integrative Practitioner

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally dependent, or held back by patterns you know you want to change?

You do not have to keep repeating the same patterns.

I provide confidential, personalised psychological and wellbeing support to help you understand the thoughts, emotions, beliefs and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck — and, where appropriate, develop healthier ways of responding, thinking and moving forward.

Complimentary 20-Minute Initial Consultation

If you are new to my service, I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute phone consultation, so we can discuss what you are experiencing, what you would like to change and whether my approach may be suitable for you.

If you are ready to make a change, send me a direct message today and tell me briefly how I can help.

How I Can Help

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of personal, emotional and behavioural challenges, including:

Anxiety, social anxiety and fear
Stress, overwhelm and emotional difficulties
Trauma and difficult or distressing experiences
Repetitive negative thoughts and unhelpful patterns
Emotional dependency and codependency
People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
Low self-worth, guilt, shame and feelings of unworthiness
Rejection, abandonment and relationship difficulties
Procrastination, avoidance and self-sabotage
Imposter syndrome and confidence issues
Grief, loss and bereavement
Anger and emotional regulation
Addictive or compulsive behaviours
Smoking, alcohol and other behavioural dependencies
Relationship and marriage difficulties
Victimisation patterns and developing personal agency
Motivation, purpose, direction and personal development
Performance, mindset and achieving your potential

I also provide psychological and emotional support, alongside appropriate healthcare for people living with chronic health conditions. This is complementary support and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.

Where a concern requires specialist medical, psychiatric or addiction treatment, I will always encourage appropriate medical and health professional support and referral.

My Approach

My working approach is integrative and individualised, rather than based on a single method.

Depending on your circumstances and goals, I draw upon approaches and areas of training including:

Psychology & Psychotherapy:
CBT • ACT • DBT-informed approaches • Person-Centred Therapy • attachment-informed approaches

Mind & Behaviour:
NLP • neuroscience • neuroplasticity • mindfulness and meditation • visualisation • habit and behaviour change

Trauma & Emotional Regulation:
Trauma-sensitive approaches • emotional regulation • nervous-system self-regulation • HeartMath-informed techniques

Health & Wellbeing:
Functional Medicine principles • Functional Diagnostic Nutrition • AIP coaching • lifestyle and wellbeing optimisation

The aim is not simply to talk about your difficulties, however more to help you gain greater awareness, self-understanding, emotional regulation, personal responsibility and practical strategies for change.

A Focus on Sustainable Change

Many of us develop beliefs, coping mechanisms and behavioural patterns that were once useful, however may no longer serve us.

Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be maintaining your difficulties and work towards creating healthier thoughts, emotional responses, habits and behaviours.

Ultimately, the goal is to help you become increasingly able to self-regulate, make conscious choices and respond to life's challenges with greater resilience, clarity and confidence.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.”
