Matt is a Nurse Practitioner and Psychotherapist. He works with individuals and communities who have common human experiences that are often labelled as psychosis or schizophrenia. Within the psychotherapy relationship, Matt helps people develop an understanding of what a good life means in the context of their life events and relationships, and explores how relational psychotherapy can contribute to love and justice in the here and now. Initially trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, he now integrates existential, Buddhist and humanistic approaches plus learnings from Indigenous concepts into his work.

Founder and Director of Humane Clinic and Co-Director of the Just Listening Community charity, Matt teaches nationally and internationally and is a well-respected keynote speaker and advisor/consultant. He developed the concepts of Dissociachotic, Suicide Narratives and Just Listening and has directed various therapeutic-community projects using these concepts. His work has been recognised through published research, the Australian Mental Health Nurse of the Year award, and a finalist position in the Aster Guardians global nursing award.
