About me

Hello, I’m Matt (he/they). I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, and Celebrant. I primarily work with Queer, Neurodivergent, and Kink communities and bring lived experience as a member of these communities. I am passionate about mental and sexual health and first began working in these areas in 2007.

I have a private practice in Edinburgh and can see clients both in-person and online. Please note that my office is on the second floor of a listed building that does not have an elevator.

I charge £70 for 1 hour appointments and £105 for 1.5 hour sessions.

I am a Board Member and Trustee of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Clinical Associate of Pink Therapy.

I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work within their Ethical Framework which can be found here.

I am a Registered Member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT). I adhere to their Code of Ethics, which is available here.

I am a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme and I have Professional Indemnity Insurance.

I have written multiple pieces around spirituality and mental health. You can read some of my previous publication on my Publications page.

Please note that everything on my website or in my publications is solely my own perspective and is not representative of any organisations that I am associated with.
