Matt Valentine-Chase is a qualified counsellor and therapist who coaches on better sex, improved sexual pleasure and confidence, more intimacy, general sexual development and support for sex problems. He works with a range of sex-related and non sex-related issues. He's a therapist with a difference and has a great sense of humour. The sex coaching Matt provides is non-touch.

 

Matt's qualifications include: Diploma in Counselling, Certificate in Counselling, Practitioner Certificate in Time Line Therapy, Levels 1st, 2nd and 3rd (Master) in the USUI System of Natural Healing, Diploma in Health and Community Care, Certificate in Health and Community Care, Certificate in Substance Misuse Awareness Studies and the Preliminary Certificate in Social Care (Level 3 CCETSW). Matt has also attended in-house training in safeguarding vulnerable adults and equality in social care settings.

He has extensive experience as a counsellor-therapist and counselling co-ordinator, including crisis management for many large organisations both Statutory (NHS) and non (Voluntary Organisations). Matt has a breadth of experience with a diverse range of people from all walks of life. He is what is often called an empath, a natural healer from birth, which is a big part of his work. He is approachable and his humour is often like a breath of fresh air.

Matt also has lived experiences that can enhance and support your working relationship with him. Some he can disclose publicly, such as being a young carer to his disabled mum, growing up in an environment with alcoholism in the family, and experiencing poverty both as a child and adult. Other lived experiences, may be shared as you work with him, if it is appropriate. Matt believes that skilled self-disclosure in the therapeutic relationship can be both important and vital for effective progress.
