Mathew is a clinical psychologist whose PhD thesis explored the effects of outdoor education on teenagers’ psychological development. He is a member of the Australian Psychological Society and has experience working alongside children, teenagers and adults in educational, corporate and government settings. Mathew aims to bring about positive change for clients by acknowledging the vital role of thinking styles and patterns of behaviour on emotional well-being and draws on a range of relaxation and mindfulness based techniques to meet individual client needs.
