About Matthew
AHPRA. 12 years' experience. Matthew Land works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and depression using conversational, practical counselling methods. He uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people manage symptoms and improve everyday coping.
Matthew focuses on clear, direct conversation in sessions. He listens to what a person is struggling with and discusses small, practical steps to try between meetings. Sessions cover mood and anxiety patterns, relationship communication, body image and impulses, and the effects of past trauma.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different reactions. Attachment-based ideas are used when patterns in close relationships are a main concern.
Over 12 years Matthew has worked with people facing panic, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, guilt and shame, and struggles with life purpose. He also addresses caregiver stress, isolation, and men’s issues in individual counselling. The approach is collaborative and practical rather than theoretical.
Sessions are conducted in English in Australia. Matthew’s profile notes that session arrangements and costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the See online counselling options button.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and issues around life purpose and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is commonly used for panic, mood disorders, obsessive thinking and compulsive behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection issues can affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can help with abandonment, communication problems and intimacy concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the counselling progresses. Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people use remote sessions to have shorter check-ins or to fit a meeting during a work break, and the therapist will help choose a format that matches practical needs.Areas of expertise
