My name is Matthew Heatley-Swaine and I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and supervisor based in Herne Bay, East Kent. I offer assessment and treatment for a wide range of mental health problems to people over the age of 17. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 16 years and as a CBT therapist in NHS services and now privately for over 10. If you are feeling low in mood, depressed, anxious, stressed or overwhelmed, I can support you in reducing your distress and work towards making meaningful changes in your life. I predominately use CBT but with a blend of several other therapy models.

CBT is a talking therapy which can help you change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving. By understanding what maintains your difficulties, we will aim to address unhelpful cycles, leaving you feeling less distressed and more confident in managing in your own time once therapy ends.

As everyone is entirely individual, therapy will be tailored to your needs, pace and circumstances. If you are struggling with your mental health and would like a safe, warm and compassionate place to explore and improve your difficulties, I am here to help.
