Mathew Kalloor

Registered Psychologist

Mat specialises in Counselling psychology with over nine years of experience as a therapist. Mat is approachable and adept at guiding clients through life's psychological challenges.

Mat holds an Honours degree and a Masters degree in psychology, with a postgraduate specialisation in Counselling psychology.

Mat’s expertise lies in working with clients who have experienced trauma, often presenting with complex mental health issues or psychosocial disabilities. With a background in both private and non-profit settings, Mat offers both brief interventions and long-term treatment to adolescents and adults. His therapeutic approach is conversational, and he adopts a client-led methodology. Collaborating with his clients, Mat provides practical frameworks to comprehend the ‘what,’ ‘how,’ and ‘why’ of psychological distress, exploring its impact on decision-making, performance, relationships, and overall well-being. Mat is comfortable working with individuals, couples, and family groups to facilitate meaningful change.

Utilising various clinical modalities such as CBT, ACT, DBT, and Neuro-psychotherapy, Mat incorporates his extensive training and practice to address mental health challenges for patients at Royal Rehab LifeWorks Cairns. His profound interest in neuroscience has led him to explore the application of neuro-psychotherapeutic interventions to enhance the mental health experience.

Mat is dedicated to fostering a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard and empowered on their journey to mental well-being.
