Individual Therapy | Matthew Frener Therapy
London Therapy and Therapy Online
Individual therapy offers a confidential and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you are facing life transitions, struggling with anxiety, an addiction or an eating disorder, or navigating mental health challenges, our work together focuses on helping you build resilience, insight, and meaningful change
Practical
Information
Session Length: typically 50 minutes, unless arranged and agreed in advance.
Location: easily accessible office in Central London (Fitzrovia) or online.
Frequency: I see clients once a week at a regular time and location. I can also see people twice a week when needed - normally at a challenging time when additional support is required.
The optimum conditions for therapy exist when there is commitment and regularity in the arrangement from both therapist and client. This helps to establish a safe and contained therapeutic space. To find out about the way I work, please click here.

What to expect
Introductory Call
If you are interested in working together, please email or call me to organise an introductory chat. This is where you can ask me any questions about the process of therapy and how I work. I will ask you about what is bringing you to therapy at this time, and together we can explore whether we will be a good fit for one another.
There is no fee for the introductory chat and calls typically last 15-20 minutes. Calls can take place either by telephone or via Zoom, if you would prefer.
Sessions
I work both within a time-limited, goal-orientated framework as well as on an open-ended basis.
The first sessions are in the form of an assessment and it is a chance for me to get an accurate history from you, understand your difficulties and what you are hoping to achieve from therapy. It is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of the way I work and to co-create a personalised way forward.
Sessions run for 50 minutes and take place weekly at the same time, unless pre-arranged. On occasion, longer or more/less frequent sessions can be scheduled if deemed appropriate and beneficial. Longer sessions are charged on a pro rata basis.
