Matt says, "I am passionate about helping individuals overcome barriers to independence, using a practical, goal-oriented approach rooted in empathy and evidence-based practice.

For me, occupational therapy is about enabling people to rediscover their sense of purpose, capability, and choice in everyday life.

My hobbies include practicing Muay Thai boxing, weight training at my local gym, and listening to music. I also enjoy spending time socialising with friends and family and being outgoing has helped me build and maintain meaningful therapeutic relationships."
