Matthew Land, AHPRA

Matthew Land is an AHPRA-registered clinician with 12 years of practical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and depression. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion and supports carers as part of his interest in caregiving stress.

Matthew keeps sessions straightforward and centred on the person's needs. He listens first, then tailors conversation and strategies to what matters most to the client. Sessions look at feelings, patterns and practical steps you can try between meetings.

His work draws on several approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. These approaches are adapted to the issue at hand rather than applied the same way to everyone. The focus can be on building coping skills, improving communication or addressing unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

People often come with worries about mood, panic, obsessive thoughts, relationship strain or caregiving burden. Matthew also supports work around body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity and finding life purpose. He meets each person where they are and plans next steps together.

Starting therapy is framed as a practical process. Matthew encourages small, achievable goals and ongoing reflection so changes can be noticed over time. He welcomes questions about how sessions run and what might suit your situation best.

How Matthew’s approaches suit online and remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches specific tools to manage panic, obsessive thinking or unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with relationship strain and caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Matthew will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, so initial sessions often test what feels most helpful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means sessions can be scheduled around caregiving duties or work commitments more readily than in-person visits. Appropriately registered professionals, including those with AHPRA listing, can use these approaches effectively through remote sessions when the format suits the person's circumstances.
