Matthew Starritt

Matthew Starritt is an integrative psychotherapist who practises in Surrey and London, providing therapy to individuals seeking support and healing. His approach to therapy is characterised by the integration of various schools of psychological theory, selected based on scientific evidence and their alignment with his therapeutic style. Matthew draws from humanistic, psychodynamic, and third-wave cognitive-behavioural therapy approaches, all of which are grounded in a relational framework. This comprehensive approach allows him to tailor his therapeutic methods to best meet the needs of his clients. Matthew's professional experience covers a wide range of psychological issues, including relational conflicts, trauma, grief, and addiction. He incorporates mindfulness and meditation practices into his work, recognising the value of these techniques in promoting emotional well-being and personal growth. In addition to his clinical practice, Matthew is the host of 'The Journey Home podcast,' a conversational platform where he engages with professionals and individuals who have personal experiences related to addiction and mental health. This podcast also explores broader topics that resonate with the guests, with the goal of raising awareness about addiction and mental health issues and providing a pathway to therapeutic services. Before pursuing a career in therapy, Matthew spent over 15 years as a professional musician, during which he toured extensively and recorded music across the UK, Europe, and the USA. His rich and varied life experiences contribute to his empathetic and holistic approach to psychotherapy. Matthew holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in integrative-relational counselling and actively engages in continuous professional development to stay informed about the latest advancements in the field of psychotherapy. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
