About
Matthew Johnston
MBACP (Accred.) Psychotherapist
Matthew is an MBACP (Accred.) Psychotherapist with 12 years experience of working in different settings, including local authorities, schools and universities and private practice.
Initially trained in Person-centred psychotherapy, Matthew has also studied other modalities, such as CBT, Solution Focussed brief therapy and Transactional Analysis (TA), and he adopts techniques and perspectives from these where appropriate. He currently works with young people, adults and couples in Nottingham, UK, and offers online psychotherapy to people across the UK.
A large proportion of Matthew’s clients are of African and Caribbean heritage. He feels that working with Black and BIPOC clients in different settings, and across different age groups, has meant he has had to develop a generational approach to what impacts mental health for Black and BIPOC individuals and families.
Working with Black and BIPOC women clients is a part of Matthew’s work and has been been pivotal for his practice. He views Black and BIPOC women as being highly motivated to make positive changes in their lives through psychotherapy.
