About Dr Matthew Ireland
Dr Matthew Ireland is a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist offering existential therapy, counselling, and life coaching. With a background spanning neuroscience, healthcare, and business leadership, he brings a reflective, evidence-informed approach to therapeutic work.
Dr Ireland specialises in existential psychotherapy, drawing on training from the New School of Psychotherapy. He works with clients seeking to explore identity, meaning, and purpose—particularly men navigating shame, identity concerns, and emotional disconnection. His therapeutic practice is complemented by existential coaching, described as a space to reflect, reset, and move forward with purpose.
Beyond one-to-one therapy and coaching, Dr Ireland offers general counselling sessions and existential and meaning counselling, helping reflective clients work through life transitions and deeper questions about how they wish to live.
He is accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and holds membership with the Universities Psychotherapy & Counselling Association (UPCA). Dr Ireland works with clients seeking a thoughtful, philosophical approach to personal change—those who want genuine exploration rather than quick fixes.
