Matthew’s clinical work spans a range of age groups. He has supported high-risk adults with significant emotion regulation difficulties, as well as adolescents experiencing mood and anxiety concerns.

Through his professional doctoral training in the UK and previous locum work in a local hospital, Matthew developed a strong clinical interest in how childhood adversity and trauma can affect mental health and wellbeing later in life. His work is informed by behavioural, cognitive, emotion-focused, and systemic approaches, alongside contemporary meditation-based practices.

Matthew’s research interests include competency-based training and professional development for clinical psychologists, and the thoughtful integration of spirituality and religion in psychotherapy to support clients seeking deeper meaning in their experiences.
