Matthew Gardner Counselling

Matthew is someone who is super easy to talk to and has great insight on a bunch of different topics. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

I started seeing Matthew Gardner in 2014; after the suicide of my ex-husband. I continue to have sessions with him because he is, quite simply, one of the best therapists I've had. I've been in therapy off and on since 1988.I appreciate the work Matthew does––letting me come to my own conclusions; and, helping me to see more clearly as a human being. In this day and age it's extremely difficult. Matt is also well travelled and well read. He is compassionate; has a good sense of humour; and, he's very easy going. That makes all the difference.I found him online and out of the all the people, I called he was the first to respond. The others did not bother. I'm lucky I found him.I recommend Matt to anyone who is looking to make their lives a little easier; and their days more productive.

I started working with Matthew perhaps 4 months ago and feel that I have made more progress with him than with previous therapists. Matthew is empathetic and focused--reflexively working on issues and helping me to heal wounds I never thought would be healed. His approach is grounded in current research and he seems to intuitively know how to help me progress on my journey. I am very glad I decided to work with Matthew.

Matthew has been the perfect fit for my counselling needs. We’ve been working together for about a year, Matthew consistently allows me to show up as I am, he is very comfortable to work with and listens and provides feedback. He challenges my assumptions and provides great perspectives based on research and wealth of experience. I’ve recommended him to several friends.

I have been to many counsellors over the years and Matthew is by far the best. Matthew is so easy to talk to and has a great depth of wisdom and empathy. He has given me techniques to try for anxiety that have made a significant difference. Matthew is kind, funny, and really knows his stuff. I have experienced freedom in areas where I have been stuck for years. Time and money well spent.

Matthew has helped me immensely through major life changes. Don't treat your friends, partner, or parents as therapists. Matthew has the right training, aptitude, and attitude for therapy, and most importantly he always listens. Give him a call, you'll be glad you did.

Over the last couple of years I've sought Matt's help on various issues. I've always found Matt to be very relatable. He is a kind, thoughtful and funny person. Matt has been understanding and pragmatic when helping me deal with different problems.

I had a few sessions with Matthew before covid hit, to this day I still use the tools he’s has provided for me, he has guided me onto a new path in my life. After trying several other Counselors Matthew was the only dude I could actually connect with, he’s a very wholesome person. I know for a fact everything he has helped me through will always stick with me. Just wanted to say thank you Matthew your a hero in my books I’m sorry I didn’t leave a rating when I was in session with you!

Matt's a great guy to talk to, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering counselling. He helped me reframe some of the personal struggles I was going through, which allowed me to feel empowered to take positive steps towards improving the way I feel on a day to day basis.

I have never had a counsellor as effective as Matthew. He appears to know the theories in his field, but avoids proffering woo-woo" self-help stuff
