Biography

Hi Everyone. I'm Matt Brown, the founder of Happy Minds Counselling here in beautiful Canterbury. I enjoy a relaxed and conversational approach to my counselling work with clients. My practice is based on Solution-Focused and Narrative modalities. I love working with my clients, walking beside them on their journey and helping them make positive changes to their wellbeing and lives. When I'm not counselling I am a father to a beautiful 10yo girl. You will find us up the hills or on the mountains skiing. I enjoy some DIY around the home and have a strong interest in most things with wings or wheels.
