Matthew Pritchard

Psychosynthesis Counselling & Coaching

What if you could return to finding joy and satisfaction in life?

Do you feel like you’re drowning at work or home? 

When we’re at a low ebb it can be hard to ask for help. We don’t want to be a burden or let others down. Sometimes we push away the people we love. Or we turn to drink or drugs. Part of us knows this isn’t serving us but we seem to find ourselves doing it anyway.

I can help

I can guide you through this difficult passage toward calmer waters. From this stillpoint we can discover what moves you by locating your internal compass and trusting it to guide you. Slowly but surely you can reorient and navigate once again toward the things that matter most to you.

My Approach

I’m a BACP-registered counsellor with a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling. I work at a residential addiction treatment centre and maintain a private practice in Northampton and London.

My approach is rooted in Psychosynthesis – a depth psychology that works with the whole person: what shaped you, how you live now, and what calls you forward. The work is about understanding yourself more fully and discovering what truly matters.

I specialise in:

Addiction recovery and substance use

Major life transitions (career changes, relationship endings, midlife questioning)

Loss of meaning or purpose

Families affected by addiction

Sessions may include talking, dream work, and guided imagery – using both conversation and imagination to access what words alone can’t reach. The work addresses both depth (understanding what holds you back) and height (discovering your potential and purpose).

I also bring eighteen years of experience in 12-step recovery communities, which informs my understanding of addiction as a complex challenge that requires more than just abstinence – it’s about discovering who you are and who you can become.


Get in touch

If you’re interested in how I can help I’d be pleased to hear from you. I offer a free 15 minute introductory call without obligation.

I’m based at Rothersthorpe House 4 Billing Road, Northampton NN1 5AN
