'The World Through Your Eyes'
Existential Therapy Online
Discover Yourself
A space to be heard, not fixed.
Matt Donovan
Based in Bromley, Working Across the UK
Hi, I’m Matt. If you’re here, you might be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, burned out, or just tired of trying to explain yourself. You may have a rich inner world, a creative or neurodivergent mind, or a long history of being told you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “too intense.”
You might also be someone who’s been through therapy before—and left feeling more confused than helped. Maybe you were given a label that didn’t fit, or you felt your pain was treated like a diagnosis rather than a story.
Whatever brought you here, I want you to know this: your experience makes sense. And it deserves space—without being turned into a problem to fix.
Therapy That Doesn’t Pathologise You
Online, based in Bromley – open to clients across the UK
I work with people who often feel like outsiders—not because there’s something wrong with them, but because they experience the world differently. Deeply. Creatively. Intensely. If traditional therapy has left you feeling unseen or boxed in, you’re not alone.
In existential psychotherapy, space is created for the full complexity of your experience.
This isn’t about reducing you to a label or fitting you into a manual. It’s about meeting your story, your meaning, and the way you move through the world—in your own words, at your own pace.
Especially for people who…
- Have been told they’re “too much,” “too emotional,” or “too complicated”
- Are neurodivergent or highly sensitive and tired of being medicalised
- Are artists, creatives, or deep thinkers navigating meaning, uncertainty, or burnout
- Have had harmful or unhelpful therapy experiences in the past
- Feel alienated by mental health systems that focus on fixing rather than understanding
This work isn’t about curing or correcting. It’s about coming home to yourself.
No two people experience the world the same way. For neurodivergent, sensitive, and deep-feeling individuals, therapy begins with understanding how the world feels to you.
A Different Way of Being Together
You don’t need to justify or defend how you feel. In our sessions, we meet as two people—exploring life’s uncertainty, its beauty and pain, with care and honesty.
This kind of therapy is spacious, relational, and grounded in trust. I don’t offer ready made solutions. I offer presence. Reflection. A place to make sense of your experience without fear of being judged, pathologised, or told to be more “normal.”
All sessions are held online. While I’m based in Bromley, Kent, I work with people across the UK.
You’re not a problem to solve. You’re a person to meet.
If you’re looking for a kind of therapy that honours your depth, your difference, and your doubt—you’re in the right place.
Online Existential Therapy Across the UK for for those who think deeply and live in ways that don’t always fit the mould.
What some of my clients have to say:
,,
,,
Emotions as a Gateway
Instead of seeing our emotions as obstacles to overcome, distract from or manage, ‘the world through your eyes’ views them as a doorway to what matters to you.
Existential therapy as self discovery
'Negative Thoughts' Not Just Noise, But a Message
We often see what we deem ‘negative’ thoughts and behaviours as problems to be erased. An Existentially informed approach to therapy views them differently. They can be like a message from your inner world, trying to tell you something important.
Re-evaluating Survival Strategies
If we’ve experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect, we might view the world as a cruel and unforgiving place.

Hi, I’m Matt
Thanks for visiting. This website gives you a glimpse into my approach to psychotherapy.
I believe when it comes to choosing a therapist or approach that’s right for you, your instincts matter. If something here clicks with you, I invite you to explore further—it might just be your intuition telling you that you’re on the right path!
Hello, my name’s Matt, thanks for taking a moment to check out my profile. I do understand that this bit can be difficult; whether you’ve had a therapy experience before or this is your first time seeking support, taking that first step and choosing the right therapist for you is a really important part of the process…
