Renewed Clarity
Counselling Service
My counselling service offers a gentle, welcoming space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Together, we’ll explore what a fulfilling and meaningful life looks like for you, at your own pace and in your own way. My focus is always on your well-being, and I’m here to provide a calm, compassionate environment to support you throughout your healing journey, always with privacy and confidentiality in place.
​
Before our first session, I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation, either by phone or in person. This gives us a chance to connect, see if we are a good fit, and for you to ask any questions in a relaxed, pressure-free environment. It also helps me understand what’s troubling you and how I might best support you. I am committed to practicing with honesty and care, and if I feel another service would better meet your needs, I will gladly help guide you to the right support.
About My Counselling Service
I offer a Person-Centred approach, integrated with elements of CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - ensuring that you receive empathetic support tailored to your needs. My goal is to guide you through challenges and empower you to lead a more fulfilling life.
I prioritise your mental well-being by creating a calm and focused environment where you can explore your emotions and work towards a better future. My ability to put clients at ease and develop a strong therapeutic relationship has facilitated effective treatment with adults of all ages from a wide section of our diverse society.

About me
My name is Matthew Hobby
Alongside my private counselling practice, I also work within the NHS, supporting individuals in both hospice and hospital settings. These roles have given me the privilege of working with people facing a wide range of emotional challenges — including grief, anxiety, trauma, physical illness, and the many adjustments that come with changes in work or personal life. I welcome adults from all backgrounds and walks of life.
​
In every setting, my approach is grounded in compassion and empathy. Together, we’ll gently explore your experiences, help you make sense of what you’re going through, and support you in finding a way forward that feels right for you.
​
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling (Level 5), awarded through a BACP-accredited training programme.
​
My practice is supported by regular clinical supervision in line with the BACP Ethical Framework.
I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
