“For the past two years, we have had the privilege of working with Matthew, an independent behavioral psychologist whose exceptional expertise and dedication have transformed the care of some of our most complex mental health cases. His work has made a significant difference, not only to the individuals he has directly supported but also to our wider system as a whole.

Matthew's ability to provide both specific and wide-ranging assessments, as well as direct interventions when appropriate, has been invaluable. His extensive experience spans mental health, neurodiversity, and learning disabilities, enabling him to address a broad range of needs with remarkable insight.

Beyond his technical skills, Matthew possesses a rare ability to positively engage with both the people he supports and the professionals involved in their care. His empathetic approach fosters trust and collaboration, even in the most challenging circumstances.

In addition to individual casework, Matthew has contributed to larger group initiatives, such as a project aimed at better understanding the needs of our asylum seeker population. He is now embarking on a similar project focused on supporting our Gypsy and Traveller community, which we are confident will yield equally valuable outcomes.

Most recently, Matthew has offered his expertise in supporting highly complex individuals with forensic histories, another testament to his versatility and commitment to making a meaningful impact.

We cannot recommend Matthew highly enough for his professionalism, knowledge, and the tangible improvements he brings to the lives of those he supports. His work has truly been a game-changer, and we are grateful for his ongoing contributions.”
