About Me

I believe psychology should be tailored to the individual, finding what style of therapy would best suit their needs and personality and adjusting my approach accordingly. Psychology can not only help people with their immediate need, but I strongly believe that it can create long term benefit by helping people understand how they can help themselves in the future. This is best achieved by getting to know the client as an individual, coming to a mutual understanding of their mental health issue and finding the most effective ways through the development of psychological skills to help them address it. I look forward to getting to know you and providing the best help I can.

I have over 10 years experience working with a diverse range of clients from many different cultural backgrounds. I myself have a passion for travel and different cultures having travelled to about 40 and lived in several. I have provided services within a university setting, drug and alcohol rehabilitation services, chronic pain management clinics, the criminal justice system, government organisations and throughout the broader community.

I have a Master in Applied Psychology from University of Queensland and registered with the Australia Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). I am trained in several evidence-based therapies, including; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Matthew lives in South East Queensland with his wife and young son. He enjoys the weather and the beach and overall outside lifestyle that SE QLD provides. He and his family have lived in several different countries and speak three languages at home. When at home we used to more regularly enjoy watching TV and movies and playing games together, however these days we mostly play with our hilarious son.
