About Matthew
AASW social worker with 5 years' experience, Matthew Jensen helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. He works with individuals who want practical ways to feel steadier and more confident. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build workable strategies for everyday life.
Matthew frames the client as the expert on their own story and looks for existing resources to use in therapy. He focuses on clear, doable steps rather than long lectures. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on what can change between sessions.
In practice he helps people untangle anxious thoughts, manage mood dips, and develop coping skills after difficult experiences. He will listen to what matters most and then suggest techniques that can be practised outside sessions. Progress is checked regularly so plans can be adjusted.
Matthew has five years of professional social work experience in Australia and holds AASW as a credential. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims for sessions that feel straightforward and relevant to daily life. He encourages people who are unsure about therapy to try a short initial process to see if it fits.
To begin he asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The questionnaire helps match priorities so the early sessions can focus on immediate concerns and practical goals.

Practical therapeutic approaches and working online
Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and teaching clear strategies to manage them; this helps with anxiety and low mood by giving people specific skills to try during stressful moments. Another approach centres on building coping skills after difficult events, with brief exercises to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. These methods aim to be directly usable between sessions and suited to step-by-step progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matthew collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their situation and goals. He begins by listening to immediate concerns, then tests small exercises and adjusts the plan based on what helps. The process is iterative and practical, with regular check-ins about what is working.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try methods at home and discuss how the techniques fit into daily routines.
