Welcome to Individual Insight Psychology

“Hello, I’m Dr Matthew Cott - welcome to a confidential, impartial space just for you”

"When our words are met with understanding, and our experience is held without judgement. That’s where real change starts." - Dr. Matthew Cott

Dr. Matthew Cott

Chartered Counselling Psychologist
As a Counselling Psychologist working with adults of all ages, I'll give you a confidential and impartial space to talk openly about your life experiences and the challenges you're facing. Drawing on my experience with the NHS, education, charities and my private practice, I’ll help you explore what’s important for you.

My approach

  • I specialise in an approach called Clean Language, where we explore your unique words to make your metaphors meaningful to you and help you become more familiar with your own inner strengths and resources.
  • I have experience within a number of healthcare departments at the NHS. View my areas of experience to see some of the issues I can help with.
  • I integrate Person-Centred Counselling, focusing on your individual insights.
  • I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), looking at the interconnections between your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and actions.
  • I also integrate Psychodynamic (sometimes called relational) therapy, looking at the influence of early relationships on your current life.

What Brings You Here?

What Brings You Here?

Perhaps life has thrown you a curve ball? Maybe you’ve reached an important crossroads or you're tired of dragging around heavy baggage? Whatever your individual concerns, I’m here to help and listen.
Maybe you’re looking for:
  • Support and understanding of a life challenge, without judgement.
  • More resilience and the ability to find your own solutions.
  • Help with anxiety, stress, depression, grief or anger.
  • The tools to help you move on from past relationships or experiences.
  • Less struggles in day-to-day life.
Together we will work with your unique way of expressing yourself and I'll give your words, gestures and metaphors my undivided attention. This can bring 'lightbulb moments', personal insights and deepen the connection to your inner strengths. We will look at ways to create real change and empower you with tools to move forward with your life.
