I provide effective, compassionate, and individually-tailored counselling, psychotherapy and life coaching for people looking for positive change in their lives. I work with people who want to overcome or work through a specific issue or problem, as well as people who want to make more broad changes. With a caring, empathic approach I counsel and coach people through difficult times and change. I also work with people who are doing well but want a greater sense of meaning and fulfilment in life. This Life Coaching helps people progress from "ok" or "good", to "great!" and is also an excellent way to build on the positive changes people make during counselling and psychotherapy.

Something isn't working, and it's likely been repeating for a while. I work with individuals and couples experiencing conflict, disconnection, or patterns that don't seem to shift, no matter how many times you've tried to talk it through. Rather than focusing on surface issues, we look at what's actually happening beneath them, and begin building new ways of responding, together, in the moment. Sessions are available online across Australia, with in-person options near Byron Bay for those who prefer face-to-face support. The first step is a short 15-minute call. We'll talk through what's going on, and I'll guide you on what would genuinely help.

Seller avatar for Matt Corey - The Autoimmune Psychologist — 85 5-Star Bark Reviews (See link on profile)
5.0 (44)
ServesCanberra
Are you emotionally and physically exhausted from your chronic autoimmune disease? Do you feel stressed, fed up or misunderstood by others or that your body does not cooperate (with you)? I am trained in psychology and counselling in Manchester and London, UK. As a licensed psychologist, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and Functional Medicine Practitioner and AIP Certified, I kept noticing that clients' past subconscious, emotional states were not adequately addressed, when dealing with autoimmune diseases (and its accompanied physical pains). Based on clients' feedback and my own health challenges, I researched and developed an integrative, multidisciplinary approach from the many branches of psychology (eg. CBT, ACT, NLP, PCT and DBT) and science (eg. epigenetics, neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, neuroscience, electromagnetism and psychoneuroimmunology), that opened up emotional and physical relief and transformation for many people around the world. My work and practice is based on the transformative power available through a mind-body-heart-soul connection. This can help unlock and release subconscious blocks, trauma and negative emotional stress, resulting in emotional and body (pain-free) relief and healing, for people with autoimmune diseases. "The Autoimmune Psychologist" was a result and decision, to dedicate myself, to this emerging and life-changing field. This journey has inspired an empowerment and liberation of the past, towards a future of greater possibilities, bringing a rejuvenated passion and desire, to live and realise their potential and a better life for themselves and their loved ones. ____________________________ ”Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” ”We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become.” — Carl Jung ____________________________ WHAT I PROVIDE: Help people (through remote sessions within a 3 or 6 month program, with practical applications and exercises and email, phone and text support) with autoimmune conditions and its accompanied emotional and physical pain, remove subconscious and conscious blocks and barriers, such as emotional reactions and dependencies, including grief, fear, depression, anger, despair, resentment; to bring relief emotionally and physically, through relearning and reprocessing emotional reactions and behaviours. Once, you take back your power and implement the right mindset and actions, you will then be on your way, towards fulfilling greater health and life outcomes. A free 20-minute complimentary check-in call is available, to best understand how I can help you. _______ CLIENTS’ RESULTS: Clients were guided to help understand, release, heal and change themselves from their past negative beliefs and trauma/traumatic memories, emotional and physical addictions/dependencies, victim mindset, fear, guilt, shame, anger (anger elimination, not anger management), identity alignment (pre and post diagnosis), rejection, blame, denial, validation, people pleasing, self-sabotage, abandonment, ‘Shadow side’, unworthiness, depression, avoidance, resistance, inter-generational trauma, harmful unconscious patterns, overcoming reoccurring negative thoughts, PTSD, grief and loss.

FAQs

Individual therapy and counselling in Canberra typically costs between $140 and $260 per session, reflecting the ACT's generally higher cost of professional services compared to some other regions. Registered psychologists tend to sit at the upper end of this range, while counsellors without AHPRA registration often charge less. Clients in Canberra with a Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP can access Medicare rebates when seeing a registered psychologist, which reduces out-of-pocket costs significantly. It's worth comparing quotes through Bark and asking each practitioner directly about fees, rebates, and any concession options.
