Feeling Overwhelmed? Struggling in Silence?
That quiet moment before you step into your Graceville home—the stillness of an early morning, the pause before starting your day, or those late-night hours when everything feels heavier—reminds you that even the strongest among us sometimes need a hand.
At Nurtured Thoughts Psychology, we understand that mental health challenges don’t define you—they’re just part of your story. Whether you’re managing work stress, relationship pressure, anxiety, depression, or feeling disconnected from yourself, we provide practical, results-focused support to help you regain control.
Recognising the Signs
You might be the reliable one—the friend, the father, the partner, the problem solver. Yet, lately, you may have noticed:
Tightening Chest
Routine meetings or minor setbacks might suddenly feel like insurmountable challenges.
Frayed Patience
Moments of frustration with loved ones can leave you feeling regretful and isolated.
Restless Nights
Instead of restorative sleep, you find yourself staring into darkness, lost in thought.
Diminished Joy
Activities that once recharged you—perhaps a morning jog in Sherwood or weekend bike rides along the Brisbane River—now seem less fulfilling.
These feelings aren’t a sign of weakness—they’re your mind’s way of telling you it needs care, just like your body does.

Meet Matthew
Registered Psychologist
Mens Mental Health
Hello, I'm Matthew! I am a Registered Psychologist specialising in therapy for adolescents (13+ years) and adults, with a strong focus on Men’s Mental Health, Anxiety, Depression and Neurodiversity (ASD & ADHD)
My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and solution-focused, drawing on evidence-based techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. These include:
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
• Motivational Interviewing
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to create meaningful change. My goal is to help individuals build the skills and confidence needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience.
Understanding Men’s Mental Health
Your mental health challenges do not define who you are—they are simply one part of your complex story. Society may have taught you to “man up” and keep your struggles private, but every man deserves a safe space to share his truth. The pressures you face—be it work-related stress, family responsibilities, or the weight of unspoken expectations—are real. They affect you as profoundly as any physical challenge, and addressing them is an act of strength, not defeat.
At Nurtured Thoughts Psychology, we recognise that mental health is multifaceted. From physical symptoms such as fatigue and tension headaches to emotional experiences like persistent anxiety or feelings of hollowness, these signals deserve attention and compassionate care.
