About Matt
'‘Offering you a heartfelt commitment to walk beside you as you navigate your path''
Matt Donovan Therapist
''A sensitivity to the world that is overwhelmingly experienced as a burden rather than a gift''
Hi, I'm Matt
Welcome I’m glad you’re here. I’d like to introduce myself and share a bit about my approach to psychotherapy. I see therapy as a shared journey, where we move forward together, side by side, grounded in trust and mutual understanding.
My approach is warm, genuine and down to earth; offering you a heartfelt commitment to walk beside you as you navigate your path, working together to make sense of your experiences and the challenges you’re facing.

As an Existential therapist I believe your experiences, whatever they may be, make sense within the framework of your own life. Rather than focusing solely on isolated problems, I view your challenges as expressions of the complex yet deeply meaningful relationship between you and the world around you.
