Mati Ma, BACP

Mati Ma is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in London, United Kingdom, who works with both youths and adults. He draws on a foundation of client-centered therapy, combining counselling skills and conflict resolution training with his lived experience as an immigrant across Hong Kong, Canada, and the UK to support people facing relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, stress, anxiety, trauma, and other life transitions.

Mati began working with young people and families in 2001 in roles that included behavioural interventionist, Canadian school youth worker, and Scottish school counsellor. That background informs his current practice in London and shapes a practical, empathetic approach to therapy that attends to cultural context and everyday challenges.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and offers services in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Mati focuses on helping clients navigate relationship and family issues, intimacy-related concerns, attachment and abandonment themes, caregiver stress, coping with life changes, and related areas using a client-centered framework tailored to each person.
