Matthew Land, AHPRA

Matthew Land is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. His practice also covers issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress and loneliness. He conducts sessions in English and works from Australia.

Matthew uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in conversation. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice what matters and build small, workable changes. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods to focus on how relationships and early patterns shape current struggles.

In sessions he keeps the work direct and focused. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new behaviours to test what works. He also offers skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotion regulation or impulsivity are central concerns.

Matthew aims to make sessions straightforward. People can expect clear explanations of why a strategy is being used and simple practices to try between meetings. He acknowledges that starting therapy takes effort and treats that step as important.

Over his career he has supported adults with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, panic and complex shame or guilt. He asks clients to set practical goals, then reviews progress together so adjustments can be made. This practical focus is intended to help people find clearer direction after a major life change.
