About Matthew
Matthew Land is an AHPRA-credentialed therapist with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and depression. He aims to make first steps feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or unsure.
Matthew starts by listening. He asks about what matters most to the person and what they want to change. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script. He focuses on practical strategies alongside space to talk about painful experiences.
His practice draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thinking and behaviour patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centred ways of working that follow the person's lead. He also uses attachment-informed thinking when relationship or abandonment issues come up.
Over a dozen years he has supported people through mood and anxiety problems, obsessions and compulsions, body image and eating concerns, and the effects of trauma. He pays attention to how guilt, shame or isolation shape day-to-day life and decision making.
Sessions aim to give clear tools, steady support and a plan that fits everyday life. Matthew encourages people to set small, achievable goals and keeps the work collaborative and respectful.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful when anxiety or panic gets in the way of everyday living. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress and build confidence. It is often used for anxiety, panic and mood challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Working this way still lets the therapist teach skills, set practical exercises and follow progress from week to week with an ongoing plan.
