Mr Aiden Matthews

Counselor

“Experienced Counselor, caring, gentle, and empathetic. I use person-centred counselling techniques. Specialise in trauma as well as pre and post-surgery and parents counselling. My counselling approach is Person-Centred.”

About Me

This experienced counsellor offers a caring, gentle, and empathetic space. They specialise in trauma support, including the emotional aspects of pre and post-surgery. Parents seeking understanding and guidance will also find dedicated support. Using person-centred techniques, sessions truly focus on your unique experience. This approach helps you explore feelings at your own pace, building deep understanding and inner stability.

Approach

Sessions unfold at a pace you set, with gentle questions and reflective listening that help you name what matters and find breathing room around painful memories. Whether we meet via video from Ekurhuleni or work together online in English, I keep the space steady and predictable so difficult moments feel safer to explore. Between sessions I offer short, practical exercises and calming techniques—sometimes guided relaxation—to help manage medical stressors and traumatic reminders. This approach often helps people navigating surgery, chronic illness, or parenting strains.
