Hi, I’m Matt,

I’m a psychologist specialising in men’s mental health and I’ve created the Know Yourself Psychology clinic just for men. As the owner and operator, I’ll be working with you from our first phone call through to our last session.

Life can be confusing, challenging, unfair and sometimes just downright rough. I offer practical skills to help get you moving in the right direction and keep you on track, no matter what life throws at you.

I’m dedicated to building strong, trusting relationships with my clients and provide practical, tailored psychological support. I’m here for when life feels overwhelming or simply if something's not quite right.

You are needed. You are valuable. And it really can get better.

There's a host of useful information on this site and I'm always available to answer your questions even if you decide this isn't for you. Get in touch and we can chat about how I can help.

What I Do & Who I Work With

Know Yourself Psychology has been created to cater exclusively to men.

I came to psychology later in life and so I benefit from a lot of shared experiences with my clients. I did not know much about mental health prior to my training and so I did not benefit hugely from any knowledge that might have guided me through tough spots. Generally, I just grit my teeth and suffered the consequences. Sound familiar? I set up Know Yourself Psychology as a place where men can come in, speak their mind, and not be judged. It's a relaxed place where we can do practical and logical work with a focus on building skills and getting you to where you want to be as quickly as possible.

I’m trained to handle most issues, but like most psychologists, I tend to focus on certain areas. I work most often with men experiencing:

• Stress

• Anxiety (including OCD, panic attacks, and social anxiety)

• Depression and other mood disorders

• Relationship problems

• Communication issues (including assertiveness training)

• Self-identity struggles

• Social pressures and challenges tied to masculinity

• Tics & habits

• Questions of purpose and meaning

• Big life changes (like becoming a dad or moving countries)

• Grief

• Less specific—but no less overwhelming—life challenges

Not sure if I’m the right fit? Give me a call for a chat. If your concern is outside my expertise—and I think someone else could serve you better—I’ll help you find the right person.
