Trio Well-Being -

Liz Ockendon

I am pleased to write this review for Matt, who has been an incredible support during a particularly challenging time in my life. From the very first session, it was evident that I was in the hands of a true professional. His expertise and knowledge in the field of counselling are exceptional, providing a solid foundation for the guidance he offers.

What sets Matt apart is his genuine kindness and empathy. Every interaction is marked by a deep sense of understanding and compassion. He creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and emotions. This environment has been crucial for my healing process.

Throughout our sessions, Matt has consistently demonstrated a remarkable ability to listen attentively and provide insightful feedback. He offers practical advice and coping strategies tailored to my specific needs, which have been instrumental in helping me navigate through my difficulties. His patience and encouragement have empowered me to face my challenges with renewed strength and resilience.

Moreover, his dedication to my well-being is truly commendable. Matt is always punctual, prepared, and fully present during our sessions. It is clear that he is passionate about his work and genuinely cares about his clients' progress.

I highly recommend Matt at Trio Well Being to anyone seeking compassionate and effective counselling support.

Working with Mat has been a deeply rewarding experience. He navigates sensitive topics with a thoughtful and careful approach, fostering a sense of trust that makes it easier to open up. His insights are always timely and delivered in a way that feels both supportive and secure.

One of Mat’s strengths is his ability to explore difficult issues through the lens of how I perceive myself today. This has given me a fresh perspective, offering new ways to understand and approach the challenges in my life.

I would highly recommend Mat from Trio Well-Being.

Following a recommendation from a friend I started sessions with Mat over two years ago, and have been coming to him ever since. I use Trio Well-Being for both therapy session and nutrition/fitness advice.

Mat is a brilliant therapist and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for therapy. I feel comfortable speaking to Mat about challenging topics. Mental health is rarely easy to talk about, but Mat is skilled at creating an environment in which I feel I can be open. The conversations I have with Mat are invaluable in helping me navigate periods of difficulty in life.

With regards to nutrition and fitness advice, Mat has always been brilliant at supporting me in my health and physique goals. He is incredibly well-informed, and a great person to work with to build nutrition and training plans. Since working with Mat on my training goals I've noticed hugely positive changes. Mat takes time to truly understand my goals and barriers and spends time exploring how I can feel empowered and able to meet my goals. In a world designed to push us into using body negativity to drive our fitness goals, it's a refreshing change to work with people like Mat.

If you're looking for therapy sessions, or support with nutrition and fitness, I would strongly recommend booking a session with Mat.

I had a great experience with Mat. He’s a very kind and considerate person and he creates a comfortable space to chat openly about your feelings. I highly recommend Trio Well-Being to anyone needing therapy.

In the last few months, Mat has helped me immensely with understanding myself, clarifying a vision for myself, and improving my relationships. He is also generous with sharing his knowledge about physical health and nutrition that he has developed over many many years.

For anyone who is looking for a thoughtful counselor to listen with care and help you become your best self, I recommend scheduling a session with Mat.

Everything that you want therapy to be and more……

Having experienced quite significant mental health problems over the last four years, whilst trying to maintain an extremely demanding career and at the same time, not really understanding who I was/am; I finally realised that every time I told myself only I could fix myself, I was lying to myself. However, how could talking to someone about things I had never shared with anyone possibly help me to change the person that I had become and replace that with – what I now realise – the person I have always been; but who had been coated in years of addiction and learnt behaviour that once protected me but now no longer serves me

Finding the right therapist to work with was my last real shot at getting better and achieving a sense of self-worth, self-belief and finally learning to be at peace with myself and accept what has happened but use the bad experiences positively by becoming mentally stronger and comfortable in my skin.
I had two previous experiences with therapists and neither worked for me; so it was either try once more or go down the overly medicated route and I did not want that

It is quite hard to summarise Mat briefly, because he has so many attributes that make him the therapist that he is.

For the first time, I have been able to have real conversations, that are sometimes extremely difficult or awkward and that initially I had wanted to shy away from having. Mat is patient, calm, affable and very engaging and genuinely the best listener that I have met. By that, I mean I have never had to repeat something, nor have I felt that the nuances of what I say are missed.
He effortlessly, and without me realising offers thoughts, insights and also challenges that open up new thoughts and memories. Mat will gently challenge but equally, Mat is not one to make a point and not be challenged back if I don’t think something is quite that way

Additionally, Mat has helped me change from a very ‘reactive’ individual, to a more calm and considered individual, again, without me realising. Managing conflict at work has become so much easier. Dealing with people in everyday life that I would really rather have nothing to do with has actually become interesting.

Mat also gives you space for contemplation, reflection and self-analysis as you come to little realisations or light bulb moments and this is exciting because you begin to realise you are so much more than what you thought you were when everything was dark and hopeless

Mat earnt my respect and my trust very quickly and I was beyond happy that this happened coming from a place of scepticism and not really understanding what I was getting into.
A session with Mat may be difficult on occasion, but there is never a ‘bad’ session. My sessions with Mat are filled with positivity and learning and also humour, which I appreciate.

It took a while for me to realise that I could unselfishly say exactly what I wanted to without fear of judgement or being self-indulgent and that is when I realised that it was ok to be me and by doing that, Mat can help me. I am now nine months into my work with Mat and it has been effortless. Initially I thought, maybe a defined number of sessions and then I would be on my way, but the change I have seen in me makes me want to keep working with Mat to realise what I believe to be my full potential.

Whatever you put into a session with Mat, you get back more. I look forward to every session because I can see threads that weave things together and also I can see the person that I am becoming and that I want to be. This has been achieved through Mat giving me the space and the safety to work through what I thought just could not be dealt with.

Working with Mat is a pleasure and I sincerely can’t recommend him highly enough. If you are prepared to be open and honest from the start, you will very quickly begin to see results.
