He brings a warm, grounded, and evidence-based approach to therapy, shaped by his experience supporting clients across the lifespan in various settings, including schools, Queensland Corrections, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Matt has experience working within Queensland Corrections and Queensland Education, supporting a wide range of presentations across diverse populations. He also has experience working as a tutor for Bond University. He has worked with children, adolescents, and adults presenting with concerns including trauma, anxiety and mood disorders, behavioural and emotional regulation difficulties, neurodevelopmental conditions, substance use, grief and loss, relationship stress, identity and sexuality concerns, and gender-affirming care. He also has experience delivering group therapy and conducting psychological assessments (such as ADHD and Autism) across educational and community contexts. Matt completed his research thesis on disordered eating and holds a specific interest in eating behaviours and supporting individuals in developing healthier relationships with food and their bodies.
