Hello

I'm Matt, a Clinical Psychologist and the founder of New Eyes Psychology

My Story

I have had the privilege of offering psychological therapy to individuals and their families for nearly a decade. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in diverse settings, including community mental health with children, adolescents, and adults, private practice, and at the Black Dog Institute where I continue to divide my time. These experiences have enriched my understanding of a wide range of mental health concerns, interpersonal challenges, and the complexities of life stressors.

​

My journey has equipped me to provide compassionate treatment for individuals facing various challenges, such as:

​

  • Psychosis (I've discovered a deep passion for working with those who experience psychosis and associated mental health conditions like Schizophrenia)

  • Mood disorders (e.g. depression, bipolar) 

  • Anxiety (e.g. generalised, social)

  • OCD

  • Relationship issues (e.g. break ups, conflict) 

  • Stress, and burnout

  • Substance use

  • Identity exploration

  • Trauma

  • Emotion regulation 

 

My primary focus lies in assisting adolescents (16+) and adults on an individual basis. I have worked extensively with a variety of different populations including those in rural and remote communities, health care workers (e.g. doctors, nurses, psychologists), emergency service workers (e.g. police, RFS), chronic illness (e.g. IBD, arthritis), and LGBTQIA+ persons.

​

My approach to therapy is grounded in holistic, warm, and attachment-informed principles. I cherish the uniqueness of every individual I work with, recognizing that everyone's journey is different, and their needs are distinct. Therefore, I tailor my treatment approaches to suit each person's specific circumstances. My toolkit includes evidence-based modalities like:

​

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)

  • Schema Therapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

  • Interpersonal Social Rhythms Therapy (IPSRT)

​

I am genuinely committed to supporting you on your path toward emotional well-being and personal growth. Together, we will explore your unique experiences and work toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.
