APPROACH TO TREATMENT

Person-centered care is at the heart of Matthew’s therapeutic philosophy. He believes that clients are the experts of their own lives and experiences. His role is to walk alongside them—offering professional insight, warmth, and support—while honouring each person’s unique background, story, and worldview.

Matthew understands that each individual’s perspective is shaped by culture, identity, lived experiences, and personal history. Because of this, he works collaboratively, with deep respect for his clients’ needs and values. Building a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship is central to his approach.

Therapeutic Modalities

Matthew integrates evidence-informed approaches, including:

  • Strength-Based Therapy – Identifying and building on existing strengths, resilience, and internal resources

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – Exploring and shifting patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviours

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – Supporting clients in their journey weaving together acceptance and change through various strategies 

For one person, this might mean recognizing and building on strengths that already exist; for another, it may involve exploring unhelpful thinking patterns or developing new coping strategies. Together, you’ll discover what resonates and supports your journey toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change.
