Abide Counselling — Psychotherapist in Glasgow, Scotland

Matthew has been an incredible therapist. He listens without judgment, asks thoughtful questions, and creates a space where I feel genuinely understood. His calm, grounded approach has helped me navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. I’m grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him.

Went to Matthew at a very low point of my life and helped navigate me back to myself, and I’m now as happy as I’ve ever been thanks to him. Couldn’t recommend Matthew enough

Matthew has been a very good listener, helping me through some difficult conversations and dynamics. His insight is spot on and provides a lot of clarity. He's the best therapist I've worked with.

I’ve had a really positive experience with Mathew. From the beginning, he created a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up at my own pace. He listens carefully, asks good questions, and helped me see things from new perspectives without ever feeling pushy. The sessions have helped me better understand myself, manage challenges more effectively, and feel more grounded overall. I always leave feeling heard and supported. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a compassionate, professional, and skilled therapist.

Matthew is the best counsellor/hypnotherapist I have ever dealt with. He explained things so well and was very caring and professional. I will definitely book some more sessions.

I highly recommend Matthew. I saw him for around 6 months and every time i felt a little better. He provides a safe, warm welcome environment where i was able to forget the world outside and focus on myself. He did not judge me or make me feel like i was wrong in anyway. I would definitely go back to Matthew if i ever needed counselling in the future.

I’ve recently started sessions with Matthew and honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience so far. The atmosphere is really relaxed, and I haven’t felt that awkward vibe. There’s no judgement at all, and I find it really easy to open up and speak freely. I feel like Matthew does a great job at gently guiding the conversation so it feels productive but still natural. I’d highly recommend this counselling service to anyone looking for genuine, supportive help.

I cannot recommend Abide counselling services enough. Matthew has been amazing with me, initially meeting weekly then dropping to bi weekly. He is calm, reassuring and also gives opposing views and opinions on certain life topics to help you think more clearly. I am so comfortable in the sessions and there is absolutely no judgement or topic off limits. Matthew is very kind, understanding, compassionate and really good at what he does! If you are considering therapy then definitely try Abide Counselling, you will not regret.

I had several sessions with Matthew when I was struggling after my mum died. He is very easy to talk to, and he really helped me to understand my emotions regarding my mum’s illness (dementia) and her death. Would definitely recommend for anyone going through similar difficult times.

I had the pleasure of experiencing solution-focused hypnotherapy with Mathew, an outstanding counsellor! His deep understanding of the subject and empathetic approach created a safe space for me to explore my issues. Mathew effectively integrated solution-focused techniques, guiding me toward my goals with compassion and skill. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled counsellor. That being said, Mathew has a great sense of humour that brightened our sessions, and I truly appreciated that about him.
