🌳About Matthew:

👋 Hello! I’m a counsellor and mediator supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the emotional impact of ecological and social change.

I support adults and young people from many different backgrounds.

Some come wanting to understand long-standing patterns; others are dealing with immediate pressures or transitions. Many simply need a space where they can speak openly without judgement.

I offer a calm, confidential environment to explore what’s beneath the surface and develop more grounded ways of responding to life.

🌏Have you ever wondered what’s going on in the world? I also work with people and communities experiencing eco-anxiety, climate grief, and the emotional weight of rapid environmental and social disruption.

Feelings like fear, sadness, overwhelm, or helplessness are far more common than we admit. My aim is to help people understand these emotions and move toward a steadier sense of agency and hope.

🎣 My path into this work has been varied; fish farming, corporate life, small business, and the university sector, but a constant thread has been curiosity, adaptability, and a deep connection to the natural world.

That connection continues to guide how I show up with the people I work with.

ℹ️💰Sessions run for 1 hour, and are $110.
I offer evening appointments on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, which suits many people who need support outside typical work hours.

💻 If travelling to Dungog is difficult, I also offer sessions via Zoom.

The mother wound is often misunderstood.

It isn’t about whether a mother loved you.
And it isn’t about blame.

It’s about what happened when you had needs —
how emotions were met, managed, mirrored, or avoided.

For many people, early closeness required adaptation.
Staying connected meant staying attuned.
Being safe meant being easy.
Being loved meant not needing too much.

These patterns form early — often before language —
shaping how the nervous system learns proximity, guilt, and responsibility.

In adulthood, this can show up as chronic self-monitoring, difficulty identifying your own needs, guilt when setting boundaries, or a reflex to manage other people’s emotions before your own.

These are not character flaws.
They are attachment strategies that once preserved connection.

And if having needs still feels like a moral failure,
that belief was learned in relationship.
