Helping you understand yourself more deeply, so you can live more freely

My name is Mattia, and I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (MBACP), offering therapy in Haringey, North London, and online across the UK.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions, and religious or spiritual trauma.

Whatever has brought you to therapy, I offer a space where we can explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion. Together, we can begin to make sense of what you are going through, understand patterns that may be affecting you, and develop a more trusting relationship with yourself. My aim is to help you find ways forward that feel more authentic and in keeping with your values.

I offer therapy in both English and Italian, so you can speak in whichever language feels most natural and comfortable for you.

Services and Areas of Support

You can choose short-term or longer-term therapy, depending on what feels most appropriate for you. Sessions are available in person in Haringey, North London, or online, making it easier to access support while allowing space for a consistent therapeutic journey at your own pace.

How We Walk This Path Together

I don't believe people are defined by their symptoms. I believe our struggles often tell a story, and therapy can help us understand that story with greater clarity and compassion.

Therapy is a collaborative process. We'll work together at a pace that feels right for you, building trust and a sense of safety along the way. You can explore past experiences, talk about things you may have found difficult to share and begin to understand how they affect your life today.

We can look at patterns in your mood, emotions and relationships, including the relationship you have with yourself. As you begin to make sense of these patterns, you may find it easier to understand your needs, make choices that feel right for you and find a way forward.

Recovering After Religious Trauma

Recovery from cult involvement, religious trauma, spiritual abuse or life in a high-control religious environment can be a complex and deeply personal process.

I offer specialist, trauma-informed therapy in a compassionate and non-judgemental space where we can explore what you have experienced and how it may have affected you. We can work together to make sense of the past, reconnect with your own values and beliefs, and rebuild a sense of autonomy and identity.

Our work may include:

Understanding the impact of coercive control and manipulation.
Questioning and unlearning harmful beliefs and messages.
Rebuilding self-trust, confidence and a sense of identity.
Exploring who you are and what matters to you outside the expectations of the environment you have left.

Mattia Cabras MBACP Counsellor in Haringey

A little about me

I’m Mattia, an MBACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor offering face-to-face therapy in Haringey, North London, and online across the UK. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and religious or spiritual harm.

Throughout my training and experience, I've become less interested in asking, "What's wrong with someone?" and more interested in understanding how they have come to relate to themselves in the way they do.

I've found that our difficulties often begin to make more sense when we look at them in the context of our relationships, life experiences, and the ways we've learned to adapt. Sometimes, patterns that once helped us cope can become difficult to live with.

I don't believe therapy should follow a fixed formula. We all have different experiences, needs and ways of making sense of the world. My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic perspectives depending on what feels relevant to you. At the centre of my work is the therapeutic relationship and the importance of building a space where you feel able to be yourself.

I also understand how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support, as I've experienced therapy myself. My training, alongside my own experiences of therapy and recovery, has shaped the way I work: with empathy, honesty and compassion. I aim to offer a space where you feel heard, understood and able to explore whatever you're carrying, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Why work with me

Therapy with me is an opportunity to explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself and develop a better understanding of what you need. We can take things at your pace and work towards changes that feel meaningful and right for you.
