About Me

Therapist

My name is Matthew Tevlin and I’m an accredited clinical psychotherapist. I have been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2015. I have worked in a variety of settings since then including Pieta House, the NHS, community-based counselling services and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP).
I opened my private practice in 2017 and I provide short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy to individual adults and teenagers aged 16+. I practice from a purpose-built counselling space located behind my home in Celbridge. I place an emphasis on creating a warm, safe environment where privacy and confidentiality is assured.
I am a trauma-informed therapist and have a special interest in working with complex trauma. Complex trauma refers to repeated experience of traumatic events within the context of interpersonal relationships, which can lead to emotional, psychological, and relational difficulties.

Depression can be incredibly tough to go through, whether it's a general sense of sadness.

Suicidal ideation and self-harm

You don’t have to go through this alone—there are people who care about you and want to help.
