About Matthew

Matthew Land is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. He aims to offer respectful, sensitive and compassionate support as people take their first steps towards change.

Matthew adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. He listens for what matters most and helps people set small, practical goals. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday problems rather than clinical jargon.

His background includes work across a variety of presenting problems, which informs how he blends approaches in session. He uses methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills and make values-driven choices. This can be useful for issues like panic, obsessive thoughts, mood swings and persistent worry.

Matthew also pays attention to attachment and relational patterns. He helps people understand how past hurt can shape current relationships and communication. This often includes practical steps to improve boundaries, emotion regulation and interpersonal connection.

People seeking support for identity around body image, guilt and shame, isolation or men’s wellbeing can find a direct, non-judgemental style in his work. He encourages steady progress over time and tailors conversations to what each person needs in the moment.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters to them. It teaches simple practices to act in line with personal values despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people rebuild healthier ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will collaborate with each person to identify which methods suit their goals and preferences. That process can involve trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as life changes.

Please confirm available session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer working from a regular place or who need to schedule around work or caregiving. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can offer useful continuity of care through online sessions, and Matthew will help shape the approach to fit everyday life and practical needs.
