Matthew Land, AHPRA

Matthew Land is an Australia-based therapist with 12 years of professional experience and registration with AHPRA, the national body that oversees health practitioner registration in Australia. He works with people experiencing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, the effects of trauma and abuse, and eating disorders, offering calm, practical support tailored to each person's situation.

Matthew approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity and compassion, adapting the way he speaks and the treatment plan to suit an individual's unique needs and goals. He aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore concerns at their own pace, develop coping strategies and learn new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Recognising that starting therapy can take courage, Matthew acknowledges the significance of that first step and supports clients through early appointments and ongoing care. His practice emphasises personalised dialogue and a flexible, client-focused approach to treatment planning that honours each person’s story and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to value-driven action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions where a person seeks greater purpose and direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and how these influence current connections. It is helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, relationship difficulties and the emotional impact of past trauma.

Matthew works collaboratively to find the right approach for each person, listening to needs, goals and preferences and adapting methods as therapy progresses. Deciding on an approach is part of the process and he will support clients in shaping a plan that fits their circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and allow therapy to continue from a familiar setting while working with appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists who can tailor support to individual lives.
