About Matthew
Matthew Land is an AHPRA-credentialled counsellor with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. He speaks English and practises in Australia.
Matthew uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed methods to help people find clearer steps forward. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based ideas to reduce distress and build practical coping skills. Sessions aim to be direct and focused on what matters most to the client.
Attachment-based work is part of his approach when relational patterns and abandonment worries come up. That can help people understand why certain relationships or reactions repeat, and what might change over time. He also uses elements from dialectical behaviour work to teach emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills where impulsivity or intense mood swings are present.
Matthew has experience supporting people with body image and eating concerns, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, panic and mood disorders. He also helps with issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, isolation and finding direction in early adulthood. His style is practical rather than theoretical, with structured strategies and space to reflect.
To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change them, often helping with panic, obsessions, and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and early attachment experiences to understand current relational reactions and improve communication and repair.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and together they will try strategies from different methods to see what fits. The aim is a collaborative plan that makes sense for the person's life and concerns.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study or work schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Appropriately credentialled therapists can use structured worksheets, behavioural experiments and emotion-regulation coaching through remote sessions to keep progress moving even when meeting virtually.
