About Mind Over Matters

“Too many people have sat in rooms where they felt judged, misunderstood, or quietly told that the way their brain works is a problem to be solved. Too many people have left therapy feeling worse about themselves than when they arrived”

We're here to be something different.

We work with people who feel different, who have been told they are too much or not enough, who are carrying things they've never had the right space to put down. We work with families navigating complexity, with practitioners building their clinical skills, and with anyone who has ever thought 'I just need someone who actually gets it.'

Where to Find Us

Mind Over Matters is based in Swan Hill, Victoria, serving our local community and the broader Loddon Mallee region. We also provide telehealth counselling to clients across Victoria and Australia — making quality mental health support accessible regardless of where you live.

For many people in regional areas, telehealth has been genuinely life-changing — removing travel time, reducing cost, and making it possible to access quality support that simply wasn't available locally. Research consistently shows telehealth counselling is as effective as face-to-face therapy for most presentations."

We have regular clients attend in person sessions from Swan Hill, Kerang, Cohuna, Nyah, Robinvale, Whycheproof, Balranald & Sea Lake

  • Neurodivergent folks (ADHD, Autism) navigating a world not always built for us!

  • Stress management & burnout. Sometimes we just forget to look after ‘us’.

  • Mens Mental Health As a male, im passionate about encouraging other men to challenge societal norms, and seek help, be vulnerable and get the support they need.
