MENTAL WELLNESS COUNSELLING CAMBRIDGE

Hi, I'm Matthew Mcginty, (Diploma).

I'm a counsellor, but you might also call me a good listener and a friend.

I help people who are struggling find the peace and joy they deserve.

Together, we'll explore how to get to a place where your ups and downs are manageable.

If You Feel Nervous or Afraid, I Hear You, And You Are Not Alone

With the pace of modern living increasing it's easy to feel stressed and anxious. There may be moments when your heart pounds, your breathing quickens, your muscles tense and you start to sweat. Or you may feel lost with a sense of despair. Or perhaps your relationship has hit a rocky patch and your not sure the best way forward.

You may be feeling:

Irritable
Overwhelmed
Constantly worrying
Lacking in confidence, energy and sleep
Low mood and constantly criticising yourself

If any of these problems or others are affecting your ability to live your life, then may be time to try counselling in Cambridge.

It’s Possible to Start Feeling Better

As your counsellor, I will collaborate with you to find your best way forward.

Through the course of my life I've struggled with different problems. I would often find myself in situations where I felt unable to cope. Panicking and reacting to situations in unhelpful ways.

Because of this, I know how hard life can be when you're facing these challenges. But it also allows me to know that overcoming problems is possible.

1-2-1 Stress and Anxiety Coaching

I feel like the personal coaching with Matt has been a ‘gift to myself’. I am at the start of a journey to explore these practices in more depth and to use the tools I have learned to help me be kinder to myself. I would highly recommend this course to everyone and I would love my children to experience a similar course to help them grow, develop and deal with life

Peterborough Female

Personal Coaching with Matt

In the quietest, most gentle way, with every breath or practice I’ve found myself to be more myself. So I’ve not changed, there’s been no glorious technicolour moments of enlightenment, but I’ve begun to notice the things that really were always there but that I had lost connection with – the bright colour of the daffodils on the way here, the sound of my son laughing, the coolness of a glass of water on a warm afternoon.

Coaching

Having coaching with Matt has let me give myself permission to be kind to myself. To understand that thoughts are not truths. To help me give myself permission to take time out to meditate and build a tool box for the future.

Jane

Mindfulness Now Course

The course has taught me to be more aware of my thought patterns and see more clearly how they affect my responses to situations. I think I have learnt to take more time out to look after me and although meditation has proved difficult to fit in to a busy life, it has been and will continue to be very beneficial.

1-2-1 Mindfulness and Stress Managment Training

It has enabled me to break the negative thinking cycle that overshadowed my everyday life. As a perfectionist, the critical voice was constant and I felt down most days. Since the course, I have been able to quieten this voice (but not get rid of it) and show myself kindness. I have found the 3 minute breathing space and the ‘silent’ and ‘sound’ meditations the most effective.

Mary Perfectionist

Counselling Peterborough / Matt

I will miss these sessions very much. The course has helped me realise that life will still be busy and complicated and stressful and my mind will still go places that are not very happy or relaxing; but I feel better equipped now to tell myself that I have a choice, that thoughts are not facts and that I can choose to be kind to myself and that it is ok.

Male Peterborough

1-2-1 Coaching

I have spent a lot of my life battling with my mind and it’s habit of constant, obsessive, repetitive (negative) thinking. To start to understand that I need to observe my thoughts/mind with kindness and observe my thoughts with interest and return to ‘the moment’ via the breath, has helped me enormously to feel I can move forward more peacefully.

Annonymous

1-2-1 Coaching for Stress

The 1-2-1 coaching has been a real eye-opener for me. Insightful, interesting and extremely well delivered. Highly recommended all round. Sad that it has to come to an end.

Former Client

8-week Mindfulness Now Course

I am a NHS consultant who has suffered recurrent episodes of depression and was at the point of ‘burn-out’ prior to attending the 8-week Mindful Now. The course has taught me so much about myself and my habitual patterns of negative thinking. Myself and my family are already seeing the benefits of incorporating mindfulness into my daily routine and I am keen to develop the basic skills and knowledge that I have acquired.

Mike NHS

1 on 1 Coaching and Counselling

I have a much better understanding of what Mindfulness is all about. I think I appreciate how it can help me cope with ‘sticky’ mindsets. I am learning to be kinder to myself and stopping before I work myself to a frazzle. Matt’s gentle guidance though the discussions has been amazing in opening my eyes and facilitated learning compassion and kindness towards myself.

Alpha Male

Mindfulness Taster Course

When I began the course I was at a really low point. I had been on antidepressants for over a year and despite increasing to the highest dosage I couldn’t see a way out of the negative thoughts and feelings. I have learnt and gained so much from this course it is difficult to summarise it, but in the last couple of weeks I have felt more awake again, I have begun enjoying things I used to enjoy, I have space in my mind for others and I have energy that I had lost to be able to do anything other than ‘auto pilot’. Thank you so much.

Female

1-2-1 Mindfulness Coaching

The 1-2-1 coaching may well be a live-saver. I needed help with ‘getting’ mindfulness. This has been done. The tools were much needed as things were not getting better for me despite enormous efforts on my part.

Annonymous

Mindfulness Taster Course

I feel the course content, participants and tutors have provided a good basis for further practice and development.
