Mr Matthew Cole - York Stress & Trauma Centre

Psychotherapist

BABCP and EMDR Europe Accredited CBT and EMDR Consultant with over 30 years of clinical experience.

About Me

With over thirty years of clinical experience, I offer a grounded and effective approach to psychotherapy. I help people find their way through difficulties using well-established methods like CBT and EMDR. Drawing on my deep expertise, I provide practical tools you can use immediately. Clients often appreciate how this experience translates into clear steps and lasting change.

Approach

Sessions shift from careful assessment into structured, hands-on work that matches your pace and priorities, using focused techniques to reduce distress and build resilience. In York I offer English-language appointments in a calm, practical setting where we plan realistic between-session practices and regular check-ins to track what’s helping. Expect concise, task-focused sessions that blend processing with skills—short exercises, guided techniques and psychoeducation tailored to adoption, chronic illness, anxiety or burnout. This approach suits adults seeking practical, evidence-informed support.
