Welcome
I’m Matthew and I’m a qualified Person-Centred therapist, committed to supporting people finding understanding in themselves. I offer both short- and long-term therapy to adults, and I am experienced in working with clients with anxiety, depression, bereavement, grief, confusing and painful experiences, and relationships.
I am based in Edinburgh where I welcome opportunities to meet and work with people from all backgrounds, and I offer weekend sessions.
About Me
I’ve lived in Edinburgh throughout my adult life, falling in love with the city when I moved here for University. I love the ease of access to nature, the feel of the city, and the diversity within it.
I started my journey into counselling in 2018, from a sales, retail, and finance background. It is my belief we can draw upon our experiences to understand ourselves better and constantly strive for growth - though how this looks may appear distorted. Through understanding our experience, we can feel more connected to ourselves and others.
Working together
In my practice, therapy is about developing a relationship, creating a safe space where empathy, acceptance, and trust are used to support collaboration. I have always been curious about others, and seek to share my curiosity to get to the reasons why we are the way we are… you are the expert of your own life. I seek to actively respond to what you bring to our sessions, and assist you identifying what is truly important. We work together, in partnership, to explore and understand where distress and concerns come from, gently facilitating ways forward.
Contact me
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial consultation appointment. This offers us space to discuss the reasons you may be thinking of coming to counselling, if it could be helpful for you, and whether or not we are the right fit.
You can contact me by completing the form on the right, by email to matthew.s.j.boyce@gmail.com, or by phone on 07349963176.
I offer sessions in person, working in Leith (EH6). I’m available for new clients on Saturday afternoons and my session fee is £50, with limited reduced-fee sessions for those experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, across May I am offering free introductory sessions - please contact me for further details.
