About Matt Lightfoot

Matt Lightfoot offers a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic presence that supports people as they explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. He recognises the courage involved in reaching out for support, drawing on his own positive experience of counselling to inform an empathetic and down-to-earth practice.

He works as an insured, ICO-registered therapeutic counsellor and is an accredited registrant with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), a professional accreditation that denotes recognised training and registration. Matt practises from a relational, person-centred stance that places the client in control of the session, and he frequently weaves in elements of existential and pluralistic approaches to help clients find meaning and practical ways forward.

Having undertaken over eight years of intensive personal therapy as part of his training, he brings a grounded understanding of the therapeutic process from the client perspective. Clients have described him as down to earth, real, relatable and very, very human. He is passionate about helping people access their inner resources, work through life transitions, and identify the changes they would like to make, offering a supportive space to do that work.
