Milanda Matthews

Milanda Matthews is a highly qualified registered psychologist with many years of experience in the field. She is a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists and is also a board-approved supervisor. Milanda has worked across diverse settings holding senior psychologist roles.

Milanda is committed to providing highly professional counselling and psychotherapy services. Many people seek therapy when they find that their usual ways of coping don’t seem to work anymore. Others may have experienced a crisis or disruption to the fabric of their life. Whatever the issue, undertaking counselling is an opportunity to really understand the underlying drivers of the problems, in the context of a client’s unique life history. Milanda works with her clients to find a way through their suffering, and to find new possibilities for living where greater freedom and creativity may then become possible.

Counselling is different for everyone, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Milanda therefore draws on her training in psychoanalysis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and trauma-informed psychotherapy in her work. Beyond these therapeutic modalities, though, the psychotherapeutic approach is unique to each person. Milanda believes that with deep and careful listening and great care and skill, it is possible to re-orient oneself in life and ultimately make a difference through undertaking this work together.
