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.

Know Yourself Psychology

Know Yourself Psychology is Western Australia’s premier psychological service that is exclusively dedicated to men’s mental health. At Know Yourself, we understand many men prefer—and respond better to—approaches and solutions that are developed specifically for men by men. The clinic has been created to address the lack of male-specific psychological care in the community by providing a safe space for men to talk about their mental health concerns in a “bloke-to-bloke” manner without fear of judgement. Whether in the relaxed environment of the clinic and courtyard or getting out into the natural surroundings of the nearby Lake Monger, we provide practical, evidence-based strategies and tools in an incredibly tailored manner, designed to help men ultimately better understand themselves and tackle life on their own terms with a sense of agency and delight.

At Know Yourself, we believe there is no substitute for shared lived experience, and that this can be a defining factor in building real relationships that facilitate the type of communication that enables growth and fresh perspectives. We also acknowledge potential underlying biological factors that may be playing a role in mental health issues and work in concert with like-minded GPs, nutritionists, personal trainers, and other health professionals to ensure 360-degree care.
