Matthew Land

Matthew Land is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with 12 years of clinical experience. He works in Australia and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. He speaks English and aims to meet people where they are without judgement.

Matthew uses a conversational, person-centred style. He listens first, then helps people shape a clear plan for change. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and paced to suit how they prefer to work. He emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every discussion.

His approach draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns or past hurts affect current life. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are also used for emotional regulation and crisis coping when needed.

Matthew has helped people dealing with body image, obsessive thoughts, panic, isolation and life-purpose questions. He also supports those managing guilt, shame, abandonment concerns and communication problems. He frames work around real-life changes people can try between sessions.

People meet him for clear, straightforward talk and doable strategies rather than medical jargon. He understands that starting therapy feels brave and aims to make the first steps easier. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a session that fits your routine.

How Matthew’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching simple ways to move toward what matters, even when difficult feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and eating-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present behaviour and can be helpful when trust, closeness or communication are causing strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew will discuss options and tailor methods to your goals and preferences. He aims to collaborate on a plan that fits your situation, adjusting technique and pace as you go.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they fit into busy days, reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain regular check-ins. Others appreciate shorter or more focused sessions when life is hectic. Talk with Matthew during the initial matching process about what session length and rhythm will best suit your routine.
